With a recent study finding that understanding members "up at night" issues are key to associations sustainability, Survey Matters is delighted to announce the launch of the 2014 Associations Matter Study – their second research project examining membership of professional associations across Australia and New Zealand.

We invite you to participate – it is free and all associations who take part will receive a complimentary electronic copy of the overall results.

About the study:

In the inaugural study nearly 8,000 members provided feedback about their membership, generating fascinating insights across the spectrum of association activities. This year’s study will build on the data gathered in 2013, investigating the most significant findings to provide even deeper insight. We learnt  in the 2013 study that up to date information and professional development are highly important to members, and that they want their association to lead the way in protecting and promoting their profession. So this year, the Associations Matter Study will seek specific ideas and suggestions to guide service provision - in the areas we already know are most important to members.

What associations said about the 2013 study:

“Well done to Survey Matters, AuSAE and the participating associations for this important research - it makes for interesting reading… I'm already looking forward to seeing next year's results, and encourage all associations to participate: it was painless!”

“The insights we have gained into member perceptions and needs are foundational to our strategic planning for the next three years.”

“Easy to participate, a great benchmark study”
