Grassroots 2008

Washington, D.C.: Members of AIA San Diego's Board of Directors attended the annual Grassroots Leadership and Legislative Conference February 20-23, 2008.

At the conference, Kirk O’Brien, AIASD President, and Kristi Byers, AIASD Advocacy Commissioner, teamed up with Ann Cohen, a consultant from BoardSource, to make two presentations to leaders from AIA chapters around the country.  The seminars, entitled “12 Principles of Exceptional Boards”, demonstrated principals for making non-profit boards more efficient and for keeping boards focused on the important matters for their organizations.  Both sessions were well received and attended by engaged audiences.
