For twenty years I have specialized in managing and promoting national, international, and local associations, nonprofits, and trade organizations. I am fortunate to have broad and intensive experience in all aspects of association and organizational management, administration, and program development.
My responsibilities included all specialties of management—administration and financial, program implementation, development, education, membership, public relations, personnel, publications, government agency filings, conventions, and events.
My rules for being an effective executive director:
Rule 1. (Most important rule.) Always act in the best interest of the organization.
Rule 2. Always make the officers look good.
Rule 3. Never let the administration of the organization get in the way of the members' enjoyment.
Rule 4. Never take credit for anything when there is a volunteer of officer to give the credit to.
Rule 5. It's the job of the Executive Director to take the blame for whatever goes wrong.
Rule 6. If in doubt about any of these rules, see rule 1.
