A website and announcement aren’t enough. Communicating strategic goals to staff means making its principles concrete and soliciting their input. At effective associations, strategy is key: Boards, staff leaders, and other stakeholders put in a lot of time and effort setting the direction of an organization. Which is why it’s frustrating when, after all that effort, staff and members still say things like, “Why are we doing this?

There is an art and science to pricing. But Id be willing to bet that most associations dont have a set strategyand Im certain that one association Ive been a member of for more than 30 years didnt have one. How do I know? Because my dues surged from $525 in 2023 to $950 this year — a whopping 81% increase!! As an association consultant, I would never advise an association to raise dues by such a large amount in one year.

Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.

Every day, it seems we see yet another sign of our democracy in decline. The ongoing erosion of democratic norms and institutions disproportionately harms BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) and immigrant communities, who are underrepresented at the polls and in the halls of power. In the face of extremist violence and escalating threats, it can be difficult, if not overwhelming, to contemplate what we as funders can do to protect and sustain American democracy.
