3. Professional Membership Organizations
Face Potential Hardships in Uncertain
Economy
In today’s economy, professional membership
organizations face an increasing number of financial
hurdles. Layoffs, corporate acquisitions and mergers,
and other factors prompt people to move to other parts
of the country or to leave an industry altogether.
Moreover, businesses streamlining their budgets often
trim expenditures for membership dues and activities;
without corporate assistance, people who might have
retained their memberships often lack the resources to
pay dues or otherwise contribute to professional
organizations.

Face Potential Hardships in Uncertain
Economy
A proactive approach to dealing with economic pressures
optimizes an organization’s ability to withstand reduced
support via membership dues or other financial
considerations. By addressing the issue as quickly as
possible, directors and other principals gain the time to
develop strategies that cushion them from reduced
member enrollment and renewal, delay or cancellation of
critical programs and fundraisers, and other factors that
might interrupt momentum aimed at achieving the
organization’s mission.
