Growth and sustainability is a challenge for many associations. Associations need more revenue to fulfill their missions; members are demanding more solutions and services; and there is competition for non-dues sponsorship revenue. In this webcast, we’ll explore how associations can be more successful by shifting from transactional sponsorships to transformational partnerships.
  • Understand ways to align association goals with corporate partner business needs.
  • Learn how to leverage corporate partners to diversity association revenue; provide content for members; and increase the association’s brand visibility.
  • Find out actionable steps to create an association culture and business model for corporate partnerships.
