Community Development, Growth, and Nurturing

Ed Rigsbee is the “Community Catalyst.” Below, you will discover communities he has created for Association Executives and for Professional Speakers. Some are Private and Some are Public:

 

ASSOCIATION & SOCIETY

CHIEF STAFF EXECUTIVE (CSE) OFFICE HOURS

CSE Office Hours is a private subscription online community exclusively for trade association and professional society CEOs and Executive Directors. All association and society CSEs are invited to join. Weekly, for one hour, we cover topics important to the top paid staff person. The topics generally revolve around ASAE’s CAE Domains. As such, the time invested qualifies for CAE renewal education.

The community meets weekly via Zoom on Tuesdays (Noon-1 PM Eastern time)
