New Blog On Association Leadership That You Really Shouldn’t Miss
I am pretty excited that the executive director of my previous association, Steven Davis, CAE, now has a leadership blog.
Steven is a really cool guy and a great leader himself. He was inspiring to work under and is a true association professional. I would have to say his influence is one of the reasons I decided to pursue the CAE. I picked his ear a few times when studying. His knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication made me feel at home in my first association position. And there was always a sense that he put the association, members and staff first—before himself. He was beloved by the staff and members when I worked with him (and from my contacts back at my previous association, I know he still is).
It’s also worth noting (because I know Steven will never mention this himself) that he’s a true hero—he personally saved two lives. saved When Steven was in the Navy, in Vietnam, he saved two young girls from drowning off a beach in Danang and was awarded the Navy Marine Corps Medal for heroism for that.
After the war, Steven went to work for associations and has been in the association sphere ever since. He has a lot of great experiences and insight to share and I am looking forward to reading his growing blog. I encourage you to stop by Steven’s blog and say hello to him—he’s a leader you really want to know.
