About the Partnership between MSAE and AMR
|
|
|
In 2008, Diane Dufek, President of Association Management Resources (AMR), determined that the clients of her association management company were in need of capacity-building in governing. Dufek partnered with Sue Radwan to develop and teach a curriculum that helped to redefine and to improve the governance practiced by many of AMR’s clients. The testimony of those who attended the workshops demonstrated a resounding success and it was clear that other associations would benefit from this style of capacity-building. In 2009, Dufek approched the Michigan Society of Association Executives to offer this training to MSAE members. With the importance and need of these topics, MSAE and AMR have created a strategic partnership to present the How To Be An Extraordinary Chairman workshop to members, their current elected officers, those in the leadership pipeline and association staff. To date, this workshop has assisted 45 different associations.
