Example one: a recent discussion on the ASAE Collaborate executive list about trying to balance the annual budget cycle with making room from innovation. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Example two: this week, Jeff De Cagna did a webinar on his new e-book Associations Unorthodox.

And I'm not saying that no board should ever fulfill the common responsibilities of financial oversight and planning and managing the chief staff executive. It's not for legal reasons. I'm just asking why we act as if they have to.

I took frantic and copious notes as experienced association vendors and executives talked about how to form good relationships and "make it rain." I laughed and thought and learned my way through another amazing set of Ignite sessions.

The national wants to switch to an "account executive" model, dividing the country into regions and locating a regional chapter support manager in each of them. And there is one chapter in particular with a strong, nationally-known executive and a full staff of their own. Sounds great, right? But it would all depend on the approach.

The second half of the book uses a single case study to work readers through the ways of seeing and showing, the framework, and the questions to get to, in chapter 15, a not-immediately-obvious solution and description of how one would present that solution to a team of executives.
