Bonus Episode: The State of Associations Report: What It Found and What to Do With It
Bonus | Association Amplified Podcast
What does a year of pulse polling say about the association sector? Amy Hissrich, ASAE’s VP of International Affairs, built the State of Associations Report to find out, and the answers cut across finances, meetings, membership, and AI.
Amy and Dan get into:
- Why 40% of associations see finances getting worse
- Why retention beating revenue as the top challenge is a healthy sign
- What sponsors want now that a transactional check won’t cover
- Where AI helps associations, and the one thing it can’t replace
- The finding that surprised Amy most, and her advice for what comes next: pause
