Overview
The State Leadership Training Program’s work is conducted in conjunction with ACTE events; more than 180 state association leaders participated in the sessions. During the meetings, the participants undergo leadership training in addition to specific instruction in association management.
Program of Work
The program of work for the training is based on the following criteria for effective leadership, defined by the Quality Association Standards, an annual benchmark for State associations to evaluate their programs, services and organization. The QAS covers the key aspects of association management, ranging from finances and bylaws, to programs and marketing. By using the QAS as the structure for the program, participants become familiar with the essentials of association management and are able to apply the concepts they learn about to their own state association. The instruction is facilitated by subject matter experts from ACTE’s state associations, staff or partners.
- Mission, Goals, and Objectives
- Governing Body, Officers, and Directors
- Organizational Structure and Documents
- Programs, Services, and Activities
- Financial Planning and Reporting
- Membership Development and Retention
- Communications
- Public Policy
- Association Operations
In addition, each session will feature training on leadership skills.
