Bio, signature topics, technical requirements, and headshots, everything your committee needs to confirm Kelly for your next association event.
Kelly Rose Hall, IOM · CCE · MBA, is the founder of Clayton Rose Group and a keynote speaker on association strategy, board governance, and the leadership work most organizations are quietly avoiding. She has spent nearly four decades inside chamber and trade-association leadership before founding the firm, and now advises association leaders across the United States from Longview, Texas.
Kelly's keynotes are direct, evidence-led, and built around one clear argument. Audiences leave with a specific behavioral ask, not a vague invitation to be inspired.
Every keynote is tailored to the host association, but these are the arguments Kelly returns to. Each talk runs 45–60 minutes and includes a specific behavioral ask the audience can act on within 30 days.
Why so many associations confuse strategic planning with strategic deciding, and the four questions a board should be willing to answer in writing. Best for events where the audience is association executives, board members, and senior staff.
Most board meetings cycle through the same eight items every quarter. This talk diagnoses the pattern and offers a four-question agenda structure to replace it. Pairs well as a half-day workshop format.
Programming gimmicks are not a strategy. This talk reframes the next-generation member problem as a governance and value problem and proposes three structural changes most associations have not tried.
Drawing on Kelly's coaching and foresight work, this talk explores the difference between performing leadership and practicing it. Direct, candid, and useful for leadership programs and executive cohorts.
Lavalier preferred. Kelly does not lecture from a lectern. The talk works in the round, on a stage, or in an intimate boardroom.
