Building Effective Local Leadership (BELL) Teams
Would you like your local association to be more effective in recruiting and engaging members? Would you like your local to be able to really make a difference in solving the problems that face your members each day?
Well, AEA feels the same way!
The Building Effective Local Leadership (BELL) Team program will utilizes a new approach to building a strong leadership team for each local that participates. This special training is highly interactive and will involve team members in gaining new knowledge and working for three days to put together a strategic plan that will build a more effective local to meet the needs of its members.
The training is held annually during the AEA Leadership Conference. A local must be willing to send a team of four to six local association leaders (example: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, executive board members, association reps). From the teams who apply, AEA will select up to five teams to participate in this special training. If your local is selected and participates, AEA will pay room and tax for up to two rooms and two nights. AEA will waive the usual Leadership Conference registration fee for each team member that is selected and participtates.
