Day 2 of the Local Association Summit

Monday, 10 November 2008
Local Association Summit Sunday, Nov. 9, 2008 Colorado Springs, Colo. How to Run An Effective Board, Create Involvement And Raise Money Breakout Session No. 1 Presented by Steven J. Hansen, Illinois Cycling Association Running an Association is not about the bike. It is about managing, organizing, creating, hosting, etc., It’s a wonder you have time to ride your bike at all. What does it takes to run an effective board? Leadership, management and organizational skills. In the leadership department, you need to be a good listener. You’ll hear the good and the bad. So it’s important to be patient (particularly when it comes to listening to complaints). Use team building to create an atmosphere that emphasizes delegating of responsibilities. As for management, you need excellent strategy planning, goal setting and strong follow-up. Your goals should be measurable. Perhaps it is increasing your membership. Make sure you are able to track and measure something adequately.
