PAR Member Meet-Up: How the Other Half Works
Let’s talk association partnerships. Engaging the work of an industry service provider is a powerful way to move your association’s business forward. The two-lane road to a great partnership is not always in gold but with support and insights from the “other half” any partnership can be effective. Join your peers and fellow PAR members for a frank and constructive conversation that gets to the heart of a fine-tuned partnership, from collaboration and feedback, to role responsibilities and setting expectations.
