The Grief and the Glory: Changing your governance for better results

From engagement to impact through transforming association governance

Is your association stuck in a cycle of "engagementism", struggling to make progress on the issues that truly matter? Governance might be at the heart of the problem. But is it worth the potential challenges and upheaval to make a change?

Join Alastair McCapra, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, as he shares a powerful case study of how his organization achieved a 95% vote at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to overhaul their governance structure—without spending a penny.

In this insightful session, you will learn:

  • Identifying the Issues: What governance problems were holding us back?
  • The Rationale for Change: Why did we believe a governance overhaul would lead to better outcomes?
  • Collaborative Solutions: How did we generate innovative ideas and build consensus among members?
  • Driving Member Support: Strategies for effectively selling governance changes to your membership.
  • Measuring Success: The tangible results that proved the changes were worth it.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical insights and strategies that can help you lead meaningful governance changes in your own association, driving better engagement and more impactful results.
