Association Management Center (AMC) is proud to announce the release of Exceptional Governance, a new resource for association leaders seeking to strengthen board performance and organizational impact. Written by AMC governance experts Mark Engle,  Erin Volland, and Debbie Trueblood, the book combines more than 80 years of experience advising association boards with research from AMC’s consulting practice.

Organized around the interconnected pillars of strategy, structure, and culture, Exceptional Governance takes readers from foundational governance concepts and board members’ fiduciary responsibilities to the practical realities of authority, oversight, risk, organizational culture, and strategy development. It also explores the defining traits of high-performing boards.

Designed for practical use, these resources can be adapted to meet the needs of individual boards and support an ongoing commitment to stronger, more effective governance.

“For association management professionals, Exceptional Governance is more
than a resource—it is a call to action. It reminds us that governance is not a box
to check or a meeting to schedule. It is a discipline, a mindset, and a shared
responsibility.

Whether you are a CEO, a senior staff leader, or a consultant, you have a role to play in shaping governance that works. This book will help you do that with confidence and clarity.”

Steve Smith, AMC, CEO

Exceptional Governance gives association leaders a clear, actionable guide for building boards that are prepared to lead with purpose and perform at their best.
