Associations Creating Community - Interview with Jeff De Cagna FRSA FASAE

Date: January 8, 2024
In this most recent Associations Creating Community, Jefferson Glassie, FASAE, has a fascinating conversation with the brilliant Jeff De Cagna FRSA FASAE, Executive Advisor for Foresight First LLC. This episode follows a prior interview in 2019 and focuses on association communities, boards of directors, and the duty of foresight. In this episode, De Cagna discusses the definition of the duty of foresight and how that definition has changed in light of all the disruption of the pandemic. De Cagna explains why it is so important for associations to confront, interrogate, and defeat orthodox beliefs that can hinder associations in navigating the future. De Cagna also suggests there is a community-wide duty of foresight that associations collectively have in these perilous times. Glassie likens De Cagna's thoughtful and insightful concepts to indigenous thinking, which puts a premium on making decisions based on their effects on coming generations, as De Cagna stresses that association boards need to approach decision-making with the foresight to address the needs of the associations' future successors. This is a cutting-edge conversation for anyone in the association community.
