2017 Committee Interest Form
Complete byNovember 10, 2016
According to Jim Collins, author of Good to Great and the Social Sectors, “great companies focus on getting and retaining the right people – those individuals who are productively neurotic, those who are self-motivated and self-disciplined, those who wake up every day, compulsively driven to do the best they can because it is simply part of their DNA.”
ACNL is looking for members to participate on our 2017 Committees! So if you are a leader who is “productively neurotic, self motivated and self-disciplined” your professional association needs you.
