Virginia Leadership Retreat EducationFriday, July 29, 2022 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Saturday, July 30, 2022 | 8:30 am - 9:45 am Taking Your Team to the Next Level To advance your organization and community to the next level, you need to have a team that is synchronized and synergized. To do this, you need to understand their strengths and expectations and how these inform their personality tendencies. Join us to learn how to identify, align and energize each member of your team with proven tools and techniques that will propel your organization forward and achieve mission objectives. Toxic Neighbors and the Association's Role When Anger Strikes Speakers will describe scenarios when a dispute is purely "neighbor to neighbor" disputes and when the Association should get involved. We will discuss the Board's fiduciary duties as it relates to architectural violations, angry emails, COVID-19 concerns, hostile environments triggering possible Fair Housing Act liability, and social media concerns. Striving for Architectural Compliance Architectural control and compliance continue to play a significant role in association governance throughout Virginia. This panel will evaluate the trend of judicial scrutiny over association authority to exercise architectural control before diving deep into how communities can improve architectural review and compliance procedures. Problem hot spots and common pitfalls will be identified and best practices encouraged with the goal of achieving community-wide architectural compliance. Saturday, July 30, 2022 | 10:00 am - 11:45 am KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Tyler Enslin | Achievement Now - Elevate Your Success There seems to be an overwhelming amount of content and speakers available on the subjects of achievement and success. Yet according to Inc. Magazine, 92% of individuals who set yearly goals fail to reach them. Clearly a fresh approach is needed. In this program, Achievement Now – Elevate Your Success, we deliver that approach in a way that is unique, applicable, and engaging. Additionally in this program, we specifically aim to educate, not motivate. While there can be some benefit from motivational speakers, sustainable personal change takes more than just motivation. This session delivers the education necessary to help participants create permanent habits to drive achievement. Saturday, July 30, 2022 | 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm "High Times" - Legal Strategies for Associations in Dealing with Marijuana In this interactive, advanced-level discussion, we will share legal tips and strategies for how associations can navigate the changing legal landscape surrounding marijuana and cannabis, including: (1) providing an overview of the recent laws in Virginia on marijuana, (2) a discussion of how (if at all) associations can regulate issues involving marijuana, and (3) how associations can avoid legal liability in this area. While this presentation will obviously focus on associations, the content will apply to numerous other businesses as well, and therefore we expect that it would also be a presentation that numerous vendors and business partners would be interested in attending. Bridging Difference - Conflict Resolution with Brains, Heart & Courage Just like in the Wizard of Oz, there’s no place like home. It can be difficult for a place to feel like home when conflicts arise. The contentions they bring can be disorienting, disruptive, and surreal. These conflicts can make you want to run away from home, like Dorothy. This presentation will explore how you can resolve conflicts in intelligent, compassionate, and effective ways. Breaking Point: Aging Infrastructures The Surfside tragedy has created a lot of attention around the need to plan for aging infrastructure. CAI's Foundation for Community Association Research (FCAR) identified the need for and lack of awareness around the subject in 2020. We discuss this very important and timely topic, what it means, and how it impacts community associations. Saturday, July 30, 2022 | 1:15 pm - 2:30 pm - Lunch with Education Creating Space - The Fine Art of Leadership, Management & Life We can spend countless hours learning about and chasing efficiency, productivity, motivation, empowerment, growth, and balance. Yet, our experience can leave us feeling like these are unattainable ideals. Or sometimes our work might seem like a giant game of Whack-a-Mole – we accomplish one thing only to get tripped up by something else. It’s time we gave up on our illusions. It’s time we see what’s really going on. It’s time we create the space for the sustainable success of our people, our clients, our careers, our relationships, and ourselves.
