How to be an effective leader at the Chapter, Committee or Council level

As a leader, your goal should be to maximize your Chapter/Committee/Council’s potential to IMPACT and TRANSFORM care on a local and national level

But how do we get there? How do we lead and harness the power of our/your groups by leveraging established best practices?

How We Get There/Best Practices Define expectations and accountability –Example: Create checklist for Governors – define processes, goals, etc. Focus on communication and adjust accordingly –Example: BOG Update; future Leadership Portal

How We Get There/Best Practices Connect with previous leaders – Find a Mentor –Example: Matching 1 st year governors with experienced current and former BOG members Connect and Collaborate with ACC National –Example: Chapters want to maintain state autonomy but leaders should focus on working collaboratively with ACC national; connecting your goals to the Strategic Plan
