Ensuring the federal government keeps associations in mind when developing its COVID-19 response plan is critical. CSAE’s initiatives to inform and press government regarding the specific needs of associations and other NFPs are ongoing.

Associations are bracing for a period of change and innovation. Now more than ever, you need to be in sync with your board members to move your organization forward.

Dr. David Weiss is building a highly interactive online learning experience for you and your board. This three-part course explores strategic planning, mitigating risk, building resilience, and improving value. This session is critical for all association leaders and their boards which is why we have adjusted our offering to be more accessible for all.
