Overview

Association Laboratory has a library of White Papers that will help with internal discussions on a number of topics of interest to association professionals, such as education, decision-making and more. Some timely topics include:

  • The Future of Healthcare Association Membership and Engagement: Changing industry structure, revenue and reimbursement constraints, an evolving professional workforce, and other key factors all have important consequences for association members and leadership. Drawing on research conducted with 31 association chief staff officers and senior leaders, this white paper outlines the most critical aspects of the changing healthcare environment, and explores challenges and potential strategies for improving healthcare association membership and engagement.
  • Creating and Sustaining a Strategic Board of Directors: In an increasingly complex and competitive world, associations that develop and sustain strategic leadership decision making bodies are well-positioned to be successful. This white paper identifies the four defining characteristics of a strategic Board of Directors, and explores common challenges to establishing strategic discussions. It also looks at success factors that can increase an association's chances of successfully creating and sustaining a strategic board.
  • Leading Strategic Change in Associations: Every association executive will face the reality of leading or participating in strategic change. Thus, the ability to successfully diagnose and lead strategic change is essential for association leaders. This white paper will help association executives diagnose the reasons for strategic change, assess the barriers, and provide ideas on the success factors necessary for successfully leading strategic change.
