S7E2 The Power of Professional Associations with Cindy Stanley

The Change Artist

As we continue to examine the structures in and outside our organizations that help us work through change, we’re taking a minute to shine a spotlight on professional associations. These are organizations that operate outside of a specific employer who focus on a specific skillset or industry and provide opportunities to build skills and network. There’s a professional association for almost any line of work you might be interested in, and they can be impactful vectors for the new ideas that can serve as the seeds for grass-roots change in our organizations.

This week on The Change Artist, we talk to Cindy Stanley, Executive Director of the Accounting and Financial Women’s Alliance, or AFWA, and she shares her experience around how professional organizations operate in the ecosystem of professional development and organizational change.
