32. What Accountants Can Learn From Associations | with Reggie Henry

Future-Proof

This week, we’re going to spend a little bit of time talking about our host Bill Sheridan’s profession – the association world.

Bill works for the Maryland Association of CPAs, which means he doesn’t technically work in the accounting and finance profession. But when it comes right down to it, it’s like splitting hairs. These two professions are remarkably similar in how they operate, in their state of future-readiness, and in their willingness to embrace change. Accountants and association folks are kindred spirits in a lot ways.

And so we’re excited about this week’s guest, Reggie Henry, the chief information and engagement officer with the American Society of Association Executives, which is like the association for associations – which in itself serves as proof that there really is an association for everything.

There may not be a more future-ready individual alive today than Reggie Henry. Not only in what he does – embracing all things new before almost everyone out there – but also in how he thinks.

He is constantly on the lookout for new trends that will impact our businesses, our clients, and our lives, and that makes him the kind of person we want to talk to on this show. We don’t just want to know what we need to be doing, but what we need to be thinking about – and that’s what Reggie’s all about. He’s going to change the way you think about your world, we guarantee it.
