Who would really miss you?

January 2nd, 2009

Thanks to Fast Company co-founder and all-around big thinker Bill Taylor for inspiring me to ask the following question:

If your association went out of business tomorrow, who would really miss you and why?

Before you spend a few minutes thinking about cutting or eliminating programs, services or staff, spend a couple of hours in deep and serious reflection with other leaders on this fundamental inquiry.  Be clear, specific and focused in your responses.

The answers may surprise you.

If you’re interested in learning more about the trends that will shape your association’s work in 2009, please join me for the January 7 P.I. Briefing.  Register today!
