Association boards have a duty of foresight.
What started out as a novel proposal in 2014 has become the core of a future-adaptive methodology for helping association boards set a higher standard of stewardship, governing, and foresight (SGF). As we mark the ten-year milestone in 2024, boards and staff partners must learn why the duty of foresight was a radical idea when it first emerged, why it remains one today, and why it offers them the very best opportunity to shape different futures for their associations, stakeholders, and successors.
Join us Wednesday, July 17 at 11 a.m. CDT, when you will learn:
01
What made the board's duty of foresight a radical idea in 2014.
02
Why the duty of foresight remains a radical idea today.
03
How association boards and staff partners can act with intention to choose the duty of foresight.
