Investigation of Association Mergers
This report, conducted by Drs. Julie A. Pietroburgo of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Stephen P. Wernet of St. Louis University, examines 11 associations that have engaged in merger activity in the last five years. In addition to examining indicators of merger success and failure in the context of four distinct stages that merging organizations pass through, the report also explores the reasons that associations pursue mergers and alliances, and how merging associations differ from those that do not seek such arrangements.

Generations and the Future of Association Participation
This project, conducted by Dr. Arthur C. Brooks of Syracuse University, focuses on how generations affect association membership, studying how different population groups participate (or do not) and suggests appropriate messages for reaching these groups. The result of this report is a set of actionable strategies that associations can use to attract and keep members now and into the future.
