LOOKING FORWARD 2018
ANNUAL ASSOCIATION ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING PAPER
June 25, 2018 – Association Laboratory has once again released its annual association environmental scanning paper, “Looking Forward 2018,” a collaborative research effort conducted with leaders of the association management profession.
Looking Forward 2018 is the nation’s longest running and most comprehensive environmental scan of the association strategy environment. This year, more than 300 association trade and professional association CEO’s and senior staff assessed fifty-two different factors impacting association members and fifty-one different implications on association strategy. Combining this year’s research with eight years of bench marking data makes this year’s paper the most relevant research publications in the industry.
“Looking Forward 2018 Association Industry Business Environment and Strategy Scan” is available as a stand-alone document, but to further expand the impact and usefulness, Association Laboratory has created the Looking Forward 2018 Futures Discussion Packet. This full packet of information allows association leaders not only access to the report, but the tools to implement the research with your own board.
