A new report on the highest-paid CEOs adds evidence to the argument that women face a "double-pane glass ceiling" at the top of Canada's corporate ladder — first in getting to the executive suite and, once there, earning as much as their male counterparts.

It took Canada 17 months of grinding, teeth-gnashing, often round-the-clock negotiations to hammer out a new trilateral trade deal with the United States and Mexico, but that doesn’t mean Canadian business leaders have warmed to it.

Governing associations with a forward-thinking approach will keep them relevant. Although changes can be hard, trends in the industry are pulling organizations that direction anyway.

 Committees are a vital component of a successful organization. When they work effectively, committees provide valuable insight and advice to the board of directors and staff. Committees can help an organization efficiently achieve its goals and vision. They can also connect an organization with its members' attitudes and concerns while serving as an important training ground for future leaders.

Excerpt:

“It is easy to strike a committee: give it a name and recruit some members. Far too often, after protracted discussion and debate occur with no conclusion, someone raises their hand and suggests a committee be formed to tackle the matter. That hand in the air is quickly joined by others who may simply want the matter to disappear from their agenda. Before that step is taken, however, it is important to determine if establishing a committee is the best way to achieve your objective. Striking a committee when it is not truly needed is a waste of goodwill, precious human and financial resources, and time. It is far better to determine, up front, whether or not a committee is needed and, when one is required, what type of committee it should be.”

One of CSAE’s best-selling publications, Strategic Planning for Associations and
Not-for-Profit Organizations is a must-read for professionals seeking to develop a thorough strategic plan for their organization, step-by-step.

Excerpt

“Strategic planning has come of age. With the exception only of the annual budget,
it is now the fundamental tool and resource that not-for-profit boards use to direct and control. It is also increasingly accepted by executive directors/CEOs because
it provides them with an essential means of leading and managing their associations, both large and small. It is now more the exception than the rule that the strategic plan ends up as a nice document that never leaves the ED/CEO’s bookshelf.”
