I was catching up on some video posts last weekend and this morning, and thought I’d compile them in one post here for our readers.

January was Governance Month at ASAE and The Center, as well as its Acronym blog, and they posted a few video interviews with association CEOs about having those “crucial conversations” with your board.

Mike Grubb, CEO of the Southern Gas Association, talks about building a stronger relationship with his board.

John Saunders, executive director of the National Forum for Black Public Administrators, chats with ASAE about confronting a board member about an ethical issue — a topic we all know can be tricky!

Finally, Tonya Howe Johnson discusses how best to introduce a difficult concept to your board. Key takeaway here: Make sure to position it as a professional idea, not one you have a personal interest in.

Communication is such a crucial factor in your relations with the board — don’t underestimate the power of an honest conversation.
