Abstract

Raising membership dues or leveling assessments causes membership problems for association executives. What income producing service programs are available to build total revenue and enable an association to develop or expand? Interviews were held with key association executives to obtain their views. A fifteen question (one hundred part) questionnaire was developed from the results of the interviews and secondary research. It was mailed to a select list of different types of organizations, sixty percent of whose chief executive is a Certified Association Executive (CAE). Fourteen questions requested information about income sources in use or planned for use and the respondents personal opinion of associations today and their projected future. A list of income ideas was compiled from the replies. Question fifteen pertained to information on the respondent. The tabulated responses of the question reflect the importance of thorough executive selection. Association successes and failures are keyed to the chief executive's own innate abilities, experiences and influences.
