I went to the Mississippi Society of Association Executives monthly meeting for lunch today. Jeffrey LeBoeuf, CAE, of Healthcare Innovators shared this list, that he modified with permission from a Top 10 List of Things for Osteopathic Executive Directors by Jon Wills, executive director of the Ohio Osteopathic Association.
