Certification & Accreditation

Accreditation verifies that an organization not only does quality work, but also has sound financial, administrative, operational, and oversight practices. Verification can inspire the confidence needed to support your organization as it continues to grow.

Membership Development & Engagement

There are two critical factors in successfully managing and growing any membership – acquiring and retention.

While it is essential to focus on growth strategies and attracting new members, the more significant challenge is member retention. This is achieved by creating value, delivering value, and capturing value.

The association captures tangible, monetary value when it is able to reduce the costs of creating value while maintaining the price.

Members find value when they receive products and services for a price lower than they would have been willing to pay, leading to increased loyalty and retention.
