The Networking
We invite you to take a couple of hours out of your day to connect with others in the industry to discuss high level topics of real importance, develop new relationships and gain critical information. This is a rare opportunity to network with other CEOs and senior management professionals from charities, associations and other non-profit organisations. Ample opportunity will be given for you to discuss issues and network with others.
The Topic
Kathryn Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer, Alzheimer’s Australia SA (AASA) commenced in the role in 2006. At that time, the organisation was a small not-for-profit with little strategic direction. AASA mainly focused on Consumer Policy and Advocacy. While that is a pivotal role, it was not a sustainable business model.
After a 6 month review of the business, new strategic objectives were recommended to the Board with the first restructure. The aim was to increase service delivery and to be known as the experts in ‘Dementia Care’. The other aim was to increase revenue into the organisation. Initially members and staff at the time struggled with the change of direction, the change was resisted heavily.
Over the last 10 years there has been 4 strategic plans, all moving through the next stages of development. In an interview with AuSAE’s Deputy CEO, Toni Brearley, Kathryn will share with us their secrets to restructure success and how to get your team and membership base on board with significant change plans.
