This month, I'm working with a national association to create their strategic direction and priorities. I’ve worked with them to launch a Statice-designed survey of their membership and key opinion leaders, prepare high-level observations and will facilitate an in-person meeting of their Board of Directors. Our partnership will be an opportunity for this organization to . . ✔️ Align with the benefits and priorities their membership values. ✔️ Strengthen them as an organization. ✔️ Align their strategic plan with their budget and resources. ✔️ Create a detailed list of next steps to take this organization to the next level. The Bottom Line: Identifying the issues that are important to your members and developing related programs and policies are key components of any membership association. #ExecutiveCoach #Associations #Membership

HDF works with communities to identify, establish, and strengthen local organizations and structures. These institutions serve as platforms for collective action, decision-making, and resource management. They help empower local leaders, build trust, and create a sustainable system of governance at the community level. This facilitates institution building from the grassroot level up, ensuring that communities are not just recipients of aid but active participants in their own development. #HelpingPeopleHelpThemselves #GrassrootLeadership #SustainableDevelopment #EmpoweringLocalLeaders #CommunityDrivenChange #ActiveParticipation #InstitutionBuilding #CollectiveAction #LocalSolutions
