Mark Frels follows up on his two previous association management books—Just Common Sense and More Common Sense—in this third volume that explores how to navigate topics relevant to association staff and leaders.

Learn how to: • communicate effectively with staff and stakeholders; • cultivate current and future leaders; • help employees manage workloads; and • provide members with additional value. Frels also addresses critical questions such as how to decide whether to scuttle a program in favor of a new one, how to improve a mentoring program, ways to show and receive appreciation, and how to help employees learn from mistakes.

Race for Relevance provides a no-nonsense look at today's realities and how associations operate and what they need to do to remain relevant in the future. Based on more than 40 years of combined experience working with more than 1,000 organizations, the authors examine 5 key areas where the traditional approach that organizations have taken in the past needs to be altered. The 5 key areas of change are: Overhaul the governance model and committee operations (and get the right people focused on the right things). Empower the CEO and leverage staff expertise. Zero in on your member market. Rationalize programs and services--and focus where you can have an effect. Get the supporting technology framework right. The book includes worksheets, checklists, and case studies all geared towards helping association leaders--staff and volunteers alike--to kick off the thought-provoking discussions that are generally at the forefront of change, be prepared for those fighting for the status quo, and to implement change without sacrificing your influence. Order a copy today for all of your association leaders and start your drive to thrive.
