and Kentucky Society of Association Executives
Learning Objectives
  • The six essential questions that drive clarity and consistent direction
  • Explore how to use these questions to bridge staff and volunteer roles, ensuring responsibility and accountability are clear
  • Identify where their own organization may be stuck and begin drafting a playbook page they can take back to their team





Summary

Does your association have a strategic plan that looks great on paper-but struggles to come to life in the day-to-day? What most organizations need isn't another plan-it's a clear, shared playbook for how staff and volunteers lead, collaborate, and move priorities forward. In this interactive session, leadership expert Melissa O'Hara introduces the Organizational Health framework based on Patrick Lencioni's research, with a focus on the Six Critical Questions every team must answer. Participants will see how these questions can serve as a practical playbook to keep staff, boards, and volunteers aligned-even as leadership and committees change. This session will provide a guided worksheet-giving participants tools they can start using right away to create alignment and build healthier, more effective organizations.
