The more things change, the more they stay the same. One of our first newsletters included a column called “Boards From Hell” in which we would (anonymously, of course) chronicle the pitfalls befalling DMOs that had Board Members that didn’t understand their role or had a significant conflict of interest (and sometimes both). Thankfully, over two and a half decades, we’ve been able to help lots of Boards be bigger and better than they ever envisioned through our Board Workshops, Strategic Planning sessions and the book Destination Leadership. But, as far as we’ve all come, it’s maddening to see some of the same challenges continue to bedevil DMOs, as effective Board Governance faces diabolical new challenges (and a few of the old ghosts) at what seems like every turn.
