A Critical Point: Mental Health for Association CEOs - REGISTER NOW

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Leading an association can be deeply rewarding—yet as a chief staff executive, the physical and emotional demands often come at great personal cost. Drawing on insights from a recent survey of nearly 150 CSEs, this webinar uncovers stark realities: 85% report negative impacts on their health, 60% struggle with sleep, and nearly one in five have experienced workplace-related mental health challenges. This practical session blends data with real-world strategies for building healthier work habits, establishing boundaries, nurturing board awareness, and reshaping governance culture—empowering association CEOs and CSEs to lead sustainably while modeling well-being for their entire organization.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Interpret the data — Describe the prevalence and impact of stress, burnout, sleep issues, and physical strain among C-suite executives.
• Set and maintain healthy boundaries — Apply strategies to protect work–life integration, even within demanding board and stakeholder environments.
• Engage boards and governance — Advocate effectively for supportive governance structures and policies that embed executive well-being.
• Normalize well-being conversations — Use language and forums to destigmatize mental health in the executive suite.
• Implement practical habits and systems — Identify at least three individual and organizational tactics—from peer networks, sabbaticals, to sleep hygiene—that reinforce sustainable leadership.
