MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATION

MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATION

Leadership of an association may, at times, seem like a lonely, thankless task.  It can be made significantly more enjoyable and less arduous if you consistently report to the membership by whom, and from which, you were elected.  Maintaining a high level of responsive contact with the membership reinforces community understanding of your fiduciary duty, encourages greater volunteer participation, and builds a greater sense of community. Essential to maintaining a sense of community is the development of a common vision for the Association, establishing the goals needed to realize that vision, and developing performance standards to assess your accomplishments.
