INSIGHTS

CHMS offers the following insights for improving an association's operations and overall performance.

Membership

As a membership organization it is vitally important to understand why members join and renew and conversely why they don’t join or renew to ensure organizational sustainability. Studies indicate that simply asking someone to join your organization can greatly improve outcomes and that member engagement is a strong indicator of future investment in the organization. The mere act of measuring member satisfaction can be beneficial to both the organization and members as it not only provides insight to opportunities for organizational improvement but also provides a voice for members to be heard.

This recently published Wiley Membership Survey was sent to nearly 1.2 million research professionals and provides great insight for membership organizations on potential factors that affect membership recruitment and retention efforts.
