Grab the Brass Ring & Set the Stage for Your Success as Executive Director!

Session Facilitator: Elizabeth Derrico, Elizabeth Derrico & Associates

Join NABE for a quick-paced, open discussion about how to be an effective Bar Association Executive Director. Success in any new job requires intent and attention. And the first 18 months can be crucial. Discovering new staff relationships, operational processes and policy, and the unwritten governance rules is both exciting and challenging. This special program for new executive directors –new to their positions in the last two years– is focused on tips, tools, and tactics to help you to navigate the challenges and make the most of opportunities. Veteran executive directors Julie Armstrong, Indianapolis Bar Association, and Tony Weiler, State Bar of South Dakota, will be available as resources to share their insights.

We will look at building a staff team, working with the board and stakeholders, and negotiating opportunities for change.

This is an interactive session focused on facilitated discussion.
