For any involved in administration of your local officials association:
Associations can sometimes get "stuck in a rut", maintaining a "that's always how we've done it" posture. One result might be missing out on opportunities about which current officers and members are unaware. Another might be a gradual adoption of activities and concerns that detract from the good of the association.
One seemingly healthy pursuit for an association to undertake might be a periodic "self-study" or an analysis by a task force utilizing both internal and external individuals, perhaps for the purpose of refocusing, redirecting, and maybe proposing recommendations to the association in order to get better at what it does or should be doing.
QUESTION: Anybody have anything to share regarding the concept of developing and conducting a "self-study" or something like that for your local association? (NASO-ON doesn't seem to have anything on this) I'd appreciate your ideas. A worthy topic, but feel free to PM me if you want if you don't think it's worthy of a thread.
