All events to consist of education from noon to 1pm and (optional) networking until 1:30pm in the main conference room at Marketing General Incorporated (MGI) in Old Town Alexandria Virginia. Earn 1 CAE credit for attending any #AssociationInsightsInOldTown session.Our February 5th event—“Why Strategy and Foresight Are Not the Same Thing”—will feature Jeff De Cagna, FRSA, FASAE. [FREE REGISTRATION HERE: https://bit.ly/36GcVOL.] Associations need both strategy and foresight, and while these two types of essential learning are clearly connected, they are not the same thing. Unfortunately, most boards of directors and chief staff executives conflate strategy and foresight in ways that can be counterproductive for their organizations and stakeholders. In this century's third decade—the very challenging Turbulent Twenties—it is critical for association decision-makers to develop a clearer understanding of both strategy and foresight, how they are related, how they are different and how to maximize the benefit of both. De Cagna is executive advisor for Foresight First LLC, is an association contrarian, foresight practitioner, governing designer, stakeholder advocate, and stewardship catalyst. In recognition of his work on behalf of ASAE and the association community, Jeff became the 32nd recipient of ASAE’s Academy of Leaders Award, the association’s highest individual honor for consultants or industry partners, in August 2019.
