This September, we spotlight Kathleen Poston, a dedicated association professional with over 20 years at Life Science Washington (LSW) as our Member of the Month. Her career is a testament to the power of curiosity, resilience, and dedication. Kathleen believes that we can’t always know what difficulties others are going through, but we can always be kind and understanding.

[2] 13 Great Ways to Attract New Members
| |
| Acquiring new members is a never-ending project. Associations must continually recruit new members to not only grow their organizations but also replace the members that leave each year as they change jobs/professions, go out of business, retire – the list goes on. So, it's perhaps no surprise that a Community Brands survey of small-staff associations found that increasing membership topped the list of priorities for 87 percent of respondents.
WSAE’s library of free downloadable content includes white papers, guides, reports, research, industry analysis, and more, provided by experts and organizations that serve the association community.
