For two years, 20 associations have participated in the first ever benchmark indices designed to better understand how relationship strength affects the ability to improve engagement with members and customers through empirical data.
Thousands of members and customers from US and overseas responded as we sought to answer:
How strong is the current relationship with members and customers?
What is impacting for good or bad the quality of these relationships?
What resources deliver the most value and impact engagement the most?
How relevant is the value proposition to the needs of members and customers?
What levels of engagement are there and how do members and customers fit into this model?
A recent webinar now provides a unique way to learn about the results of the 2017 Index and the thinking that it has inspired among the associations participating. Hear from executives whose associations were part of the 2016 and 2017 benchmark studies.

US associations often under-estimate the importance of a having a local value proposition. The lack of validation of benefits, products and services before going to market can lead to poorer performance and even failure.
