Are You a Leader?
The Chapter Leadership Session is not just about the Chapter—it is about being a leader, wherever you go, whomever you are with, and whatever you are doing. This session will teach you effective leadership skills, to help you become a stronger leader for your chapter and for yourself.
In this session, you will:
- learn how to communicate better, including a reading list of what the most effective leaders are reading today;
- collaborate more effectively;
- learn how to run your business better;
- get an in-depth look at Chapter Leadership positions;
- and discover why you want to be a Chapter Leader—now or in the future.
You will receive a timeline that will help you know “what to do when” for virtually every role in chapter leadership. Plus every attendee will receive a special gift, and special guest stars will join us to share words of wisdom to heighten your leadership quotient.
Not a current chapter leader? You are welcome to join us, for great education and networking. There is no additional fee for attending.
You don't want to miss this session! It’s an investment in your own leadership and your Chapter's future!

Keep Hope Alive for Your Members and the Audiences They Serve
Terry Paulson, PhD, CSP, CPAE
The litany of bad news continues to impact our lives, our businesses, the meetings industry and the audiences we serve. In difficult times, speakers must manage their own motivation and attitude before they can ever serve their audiences. This program will address the role chapter leaders can play in keeping hope alive for their members and the audiences they serve. You’ll learn how to provide relevant content, inspiring stories of speaker impact and a challenge that puts the emphasis on serving, not just surviving these uncertain times. You’ll learn how association leaders can foster resilience, build appropriate optimism and challenge speakers to make a difference. Capitalizing on insights from his recent book, The Optimism Advantage, Terry Paulson kicks off our day with another practical and inspiring presentation. Business Digest calls him “the Will Rogers of management consultants.” We know him as a NSA and GSF past president, a Cavett Award winner, a CSP, a CPAE and a speaker you don’t want to miss.
