Chapters are a fundamental element of running an association. They are the grassroots—where the goals of collaboration and engagement are turned into action. They’re often built around specific locations or causes, with a narrower focus than you might get at an annual meeting. Some chapter members may actually work together; others just share a community.

Leveraging your data throughout the entire member journey can impact your association and your members. From successfully converting non-member audiences into members, to your membership engagement strategy, to events and non-dues revenue, data can inform every step along the way.
