As we look to 2021, I see three main membership challenges for associations: Remember that membership is a lagging indicator. Per Marketing General’s annual Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report , the Q4 2007 economic crash didn’t fully show up in association metrics until 2009. As hard as this is to hear, given what’s happened in associations this year (canceled meetings, revenue down, staff layoffs), it’s unlikely we’ve seen the bottom yet, and it’s likely we won’t see it for another

For members, they’re an opportunity to network and learn. For industry partners and sponsors, they’re a chance to lock in new business. Those fundamentals still hold true in 2020, though the coronavirus pandemic has upended the standard meeting format completely.
