Nisswa, MN, April 3, 2024 – GrowthZone, a leading provider of association management software, announces the release of the highly anticipated 2024 Association Survey Results Report. In its tenth year, the extensive survey, conducted among association professionals, provides valuable insights into the current state and future trends of the membership industry.
The survey, accessible through the GrowthZone website, drew participation from 332 association professionals across diverse sectors throughout the US and Canada. Key findings from the survey shed light on critical aspects of association management, including membership, technology, and industry challenges.
The standout discoveries from the report indicate over 50% of associations saw flat or decreased retention rates and membership counts for year-end 2023. This poses opportunities and challenges for associations, as they adapt their strategies to successfully retain members and grow their associations.
Positive member engagement emerged as another central theme of the survey results, with nearly 60% of associations reporting better member engagement for year-end 2023 vs 2022.
Regarding industry challenges, the survey respondents identified several common pain points. The top three challenges reported include member engagement/retention, growing membership, and time, never enough time.
