Associations hold sensitive member information — contact details, professional records, sometimes payment history — often with less structure protecting it than a small retailer would have.
Good data governance isn't a compliance checkbox. It's a clear answer to three questions: what we collect and why, who can access it and when, and what happens if something goes wrong.
Most boards assume this is handled because nobody's raised a problem yet. Absence of complaint is not the same as good governance.
If you can't answer those three questions clearly in one sentence each, that's this quarter's governance project.
