Research Alliance

The Association Laboratory’s Research Alliance was formed in 2019 to investigate the future of the association business model.

Research Alliance members are SAEs (Societies of Association Executives), which comprise the voice of association management professionals at the global, national, regional and state/provincial level.

Members of the Research Alliance participate in the production of various research activities including three yearly studies: Looking ForwardTM  (Impact), Looking ForwardTM (Solutions), and Looking ForwardTM  (DEI) by involving their association executive members and stakeholders in these critical industry studies. The alliance also helped produce the COVID-19 Impact Study in 2020. The Research Alliance’s participation expands access to high-quality data-driven association education and improves the diversity of responses.
