The radical uncertainty, volatility, and risk that associations have experienced in this decade’s first three years make clear that boards must elevate their performance. Simply optimizing the ability of boards to handle their traditional activities is insufficient, however. To give themselves, their stakeholders, and successors a real chance to thrive in The Turbulent Twenties and beyond, associations must build fit-for-purpose boards capable of setting a higher standard of stewardship, governing, and foresight [SGF]. 

Jeff De Cagna FRSA FASAE is executive advisor for Foresight First LLC in Reston, Virginia and a respected contrarian thinker on the future of associating and associations. In his work, Jeff advises association and non-profit boards on strengthening their performance through the duty of foresight. A graduate of the Johns Hopkins and Harvard universities, Jeff has pursued executive development in both the work of governing (BoardSource and Harvard Business School) and the work of foresight (Institute for the Future and Oxford University). He is the author of the provocative 2018 eBook, Foresight is The Future of Governing: Building Thrivable Boards, Stakeholders and Systems for the 21st Century.

In August 2019, Jeff became the 32nd recipient of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) Academy of Leaders Award, the association’s highest individual honor given to consultants or industry partners in recognition of their support of ASAE and the association community.
