ASI Partners with Greenfield Services to Study Canadian Association Membership Practices; Expands Canadian Success Stories Library
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) September 18, 2014 -- Advanced Solutions International (ASI), the largest, privately-owned global provider of not-for-profit software, today announced it has added a recent survey of Canadian association executives conducted by Greenfield Services, Inc., as well as several new success stories, to its online library of resources for Canadian organizations. The 2014 Pulse Report: Time to Decide — sponsored by ASI Canada — identifies key priorities and challenges that associations are facing and provides strategies to help resolve them.

2014 PULSE REPORT: TIME TO DECIDE
Greenfield Services compiled results from 178 online surveys of association managers, leaders, and executives across Canada from March to June 2014 to complete the 2014 Pulse Report — their third annual review of Canada’s association sector. According to the survey, the respondents’ top priorities for 2014 are membership growth, increased visibility, and greater member participation. Surprisingly, the report shows that many organizations are not pro-actively addressing key strategic and operational issues that could determine their future success.
The Pulse Report provides insight into association goals and objectives, member expectations, how member engagement is measured, strategies used to attract new members, and more. Canadian organizations can use the report findings to determine how they compare to their colleagues.
