THRIVE IN THE CITY OF
3,057 ASSOCIATIONS
Washington, DC, is home to 3,057 industry associations. A remarkable number for a city of any size.
To thrive in Washington, an association must consistently deliver value—we’ll call them wins—to its members. And then it must amplify and communicate its wins to recruit more members.
We call this the Association Cycle: Advocate, Recruit, Grow. And Repeat.
The Industry Affairs Council partners with associations to refine strategic plans, boost industry and member engagement, accelerate new member acquisition, and strengthen business development.
In a city with 3,057 associations we help our clients thrive by providing strategic excellence and relentless focus on member value.
