For associations and other membership-based organizations, it’s no secret that the key to long-term success involves understanding their members. Anyone who’s ever spoken to long-time members who didn’t renew their memberships often learns that they felt like they weren’t valued or that the membership wasn’t adding value to their life. Maybe they felt they were treated as just one member among many rather than as an individual.

While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance.
