The Club Council partners are: David Voorhees CCM, CCE; David Chag CCM; Kirk Reese CCM; and Denise Kuprionis, Esq.
Denise Kuprionis and David Chag recently joined StoryTeller Club Marketing for an insightful podcast, exploring the critical role of sound Board Governance in a club's success. A strong governance framework is the foundation upon which thriving clubs are built, ensuring sustainability and progress. Here are our favorite takeaways from the discussion:
The Art of Strategic Agendas?
Board meetings aren’t for revisiting the past; they’re for building the future. Make every agenda 80% forward-looking for maximum impact.?
Succession Planning is Strategy?
Great board leadership doesn’t happen by accident—it’s planned. Succession planning ensures the right skills and perspectives are always at the table.?
Bringing Members Along?
Big changes require member buy-in. Engaging members early in the process turns resistance into partnership.?
Culture is Everything?
Culture defines the behaviors we accept in our clubs. Clear expectations, enforced fairly, create environments where members and leaders thrive.?
Evolving with the Times?
Bylaws aren’t meant to be static. As clubs grow, their governing documents must evolve to reflect new challenges and opportunities.?
Let these insights guide your journey toward building a stronger, more dynamic club. What governance strategies resonate most with your board? Share your thoughts!

1 个月Thank you for this article. A strategic agenda can be a challenge. In my consultancy work I have seen many boards where more time is spent on receiving and discussing reports from Committees and the CEO on what has happened since that last board meeting and less on forward looking items. The past is important as it helps in discussing the future. A guide of 80% of the agenda being forward looking is a good target. I think this is likely to be achieved if the focus is on the strategy and what needs to be done to achieve strategic initiatives in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment. Tools like AI are being deployed by some organizations to project the future. Of course a diverse board helps in having a healthy debate.
