What I Learned at the ASAE Diversity & Inclusion Conference

Idea Architects

Here are a few insights I gleaned from attending and presenting at the recent ASAE Diversity and Inclusion Conference. Too few attended what was a rich educational experience, perhaps suggesting that we need to better integrate D&I thinking into every existing ASAE effort in addition to having freestanding spotlights. Limited budgets may drive participants to the more functionally related conferences (Membership and Marketing, etc.) so let's make sure they get a healthy dose of D&I where

Mizz Information. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Fix for Facebook Chronological Posts on Page Issue.

If there’s one question I get asked more often than not, it’s this… Are you a member of the association? . When I reply “no”, it’s usually followed up with “Why?” I then proceed with this long soliloquy about lobbying being its own profession and how we develop policy that benefits the members.

In it, Roger Martin describes what he calls the "sad paradox of board governance" in the corporate world.
