Hello and welcome to JP Moery’s Association Hustle Podcast. President of The Moery Company, JP’s mission is to arm today’s associations with insight and strategy to thrive and a progressively complex and competitive business landscape. 21st century associations must move forward with a little bit of hustle and revenue development at their core.
Here’s JP.
Top Association Member Issues Right Now:
#1: Regulation concerns. Members are seeing a growth of opportunity and work, but this could result in more regulation.
 #2: Recruiting and retaining staff is one of the top issues that members are facing right now. Regardless of the industry, there are workforce concerns for members.
#3: Supply chain issues. Members aren’t getting equipment, they aren’t able to buy it, and they aren’t able to get the resources they need to make the things that they do.
#4: There is so much value in state and regional associations. Members are talking about the value they get from them.
#5: Talk to your members. What are the main strategy concerns they have?
#6: Advocacy. How are we going to activate for our members around key issues for our industry? DISCUS sponsored a NASCAR in Austin, around a state issue. They had so much television, radio, and they reached a demographic of people that watched car racing.
What are the barriers to success for associations?

  1. Positive awareness with non-members.
  2. Focus on the content to upgrade event experiences, whether virtual or in-person.
  3. Focus on education and certifications. Is it time for you to look at a merger with a professional society that has a more robust educational offering?
