"Association Members See Light at the End of the Tunnel. Study Shows More Optimism as Economy Remains a Concern" According to a recently released study by the American Society of Association Executives, association members are now more optimistic about the impact of the economy on the association community and believe the employment outlook will improve in 2010.
ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership conducted three surveys as part of its "Impact Study: Beliefs, Behaviors and Attitudes in Response to the Economy." The survey included members of 77 associations, producing more than 7,000 responses from members in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors.
"The economy appears to be positioned for recovery and many members of associations across the country are much more optimistic than they were earlier this year," said ASAE & The Center President and CEO John H. Graham IV, CAE. "Associations, however, are typically a late indicator of the economy and it may be another year before we see any improvements. Despite the predictions on the future of this economic downturn, it's important for our organizations to remain nimble and ready to adjust our offerings based on what our members need and expect."
