MCAA Leaders Learn to Strengthen Their Leadership Effectiveness as Plans Form for the Coming Year

July 26, 2016

MCAA’s Board of Directors met July 15-16 to consider the association’s program and financial priorities for the coming year. Dr. Scott Taylor of Babson College started off the meeting with a session aimed at helping MCAA’s leaders maintain and build on their leadership effectiveness despite the press of professional and personal obligations that can prove overwhelming and distracting.

Board members and past presidents also reviewed reports on MCAA’s finances, its advocacy efforts to win Phase 2 of multiemployer pension reform, the activities of its committees and subsidiaries, plans for upcoming conferences, webinars and podcasts and plans for MCAA 2017. Board members also learned about a new initiative to enhance the WebLEM. Members also previewed MCAA’s newly redesigned website. The Board of Directors will next meet in conjunction with MCAA’s 2017 convention in San Diego, CA.
