Critical Issues

High Performing Boards, Organizational Performance, and Leading Practices in Veterinary Association Governance

This workshop is designed to deepen alignment and expand effectiveness of three key individuals in your veterinary medical association – the president, president-elect, and executive director.

Facilitated by Glenn Tecker, the full-day session provides a proven, cost-effective method for your leadership partners to discuss mutual perceptions of organizational issues and board governance, respective preferences for interpersonal communications, and a shared vision for the leaders’ role in developing and stewarding strategy that advances your association’s mission.
