UST Webinar: How Are Executive Orders Impacting Associations? A Real-Time Check-in With Association Leaders
Five months into a new administration, executive orders are rolling out fast and the ripple effects are hitting associations in very different ways. Some are in reaction mode. Others are taking bold stands. Most are somewhere in between.
In this interactive panel discussion, Matrix Group CEO Joanna Pineda will facilitate a real-time check-in with association executives from across different industries. They’ll share how the latest executive orders are impacting their work, their members, and their missions and what they’re doing about it.
Come join to hear directly from association leaders AND add your voice! We’ll kick this session off with remarks from the panel and then open up the discussion to the audience.
To allow for open conversation, this session will NOT be recorded and AI notetakers will not be admitted.
