David Biderman's Assessment of His First Year As SWANA's CEO

摘要

As David Biderman approached his first anniversary at the Association's helm, MSW Management asked him for his reflections on the journey. MSW Management (MSW): What were the key issues and how did you plan to address them? David Biderman (DB): When I joined SWANA in April 2015, the proposed FY 2016 budget had not been approved and FY 2015 was expected to close with a significant deficit. In addition, any time there is a change in association leadership, particularly after the retirement of a long-time, well-respected executive director, members and staff will feel uncertainty about the future. About a month before I joined SWANA, the International Board (IB) had also approved a new five-year Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan includes dozens of implementation goals and strategies, and I was responsible for ensuring their execution.
