Building Stronger Boards, Smarter Strategies, and Thriving Associations

CAE

APRIL 29-30, 2025, WASHINGTON, DC (12.5 CAE Credits)
Designed exclusively for CEOs and chief elected leaders of national and international associations, the AGI Governance + Strategy Forum provides attendees breakthrough insights and proven approaches to align and prepare your leadership team to effectively address the most complex and challenging issues facing associations today.

Over two highly interactive days, the chief staff and elected leaders of your organization will dive into cutting-edge research, explore the fundamentals of building a trusted partnership, and build valuable connections with leaders of other associations who face similar challenges and opportunities. SEE TWO-DAY THE AGENDA

Leading the program are executives from market-leading association consulting firm McKinley Advisors, leveraging their experience with hundreds of other associations. The Governance + Strategy Forum is ideal for organizations that have a growth mindset and are looking to deepen leadership synergies in order to make big things happen.  Organizations are encouraged to bring up to three guests including the chief staff officer plus one or both of your current and incoming chair officers. This inaugural AGI Governance + Strategy Forum is being offered to a select group of organizations and therefore space is limited.
