Forecast Fluency: Learning How to Look Ahead
Speaker: Lowell Aplebaum, FASAE, CAE, CPF
 From one disruption to the next, our organizations & leadership have been challenged by one crisis response & sudden opportunity after another. Intuitive foresight – that key ability to track trends – past, present, & future – and translate them into likely possibilities of tomorrow – isn’t learned by accident. This session will step through a process of trend identification that can be used for any association or industry, helping volunteer leaders & staff alike to look up to the horizon and focus on what will most enable mission advancement.
Objectives:
1. Learn & practice a framework of past, present, & future trend identification
2. Discover what questions can connect trend fluency to better mission-focused decisions
3. Bring back interactive facilitation methodology to run similar learning at home

Your Board Wasn't Born Perfect
Speaker: Lowell Aplebaum, FASAE, CAE, CPF
The efficacy with which our boards work together directly impact an organization's ability to advance its mission. Particularly in this year, as we emerge from a time of virtual and distance, we have new volunteer leaders who may have never had time with their board members, making it harder for the board to feel like a team. In this session we will spend time exploring the differences between a board orientation for new board members, a board refresh for returning, and a board onboarding for the team as a whole. Session attendees will walk away with new ideas and practical approaches on how to structure their board for greater success as individual leaders and together as a unit.
Objectives:
1. Redefine organizational definitions of orientation, refresh, and onboarding
2. Customize an annual process of board training through these three lenses
3. Discuss and design what success will look like for the whole process
