P.I. Silent Auction Prizes
July 25th, 2008
The ASAE & The Center Silent Auction is now open for business, and I hope you will consider biding on or buying one of my prizes. This year, I have one big-dollar package and four smaller “buy now” prizes. Details on all of the available goodies are below, including a special BONUS OFFER on the big prize! All of your dollars go to support the activities of ASAE & The Center, which in turn help the association community.
Embracing the Revolution Board Advance
There is a revolution underway in our community, and association boards and CEOs must act decisively to embrace its possibilities. To help your organization move forward with greater confidence during these challenging times, you need to question all of your existing assumptions and challenge conventional wisdom. Who better to help you do that than the association community’s leading voice for innovation? The successful bidder on this prize will work with association thought leader Jeff De Cagna in designing an “advance” experience (not a retreat!) for your association’s board of directors that will drive a vibrant 21st century strategic dialogue. If you’re ready to change the rules of the game for your organization, this prize is for you!

BONUS OFFER: If your association finishes SECOND in the bidding on this prize, I will honor the package for your organization as well, provided you are willing to make a donation to ASAE & The Center in the same amount as the winning bid.
Consultant’s Corner “Buy Now” Prizes
Trying to make sense of your association’s future? Challenged by a strategic plan that doesn’t really help? Not sure how to take things to the next level? Well, this is your lucky day! You can spend two provocative hours in direct virtual dialogue with Jeff De Cagna, the association community’s leading voice for innovation! Jeff will listen your issues, help you ask the right questions and offer his provocative brand of strategic advice for your organization.
