1 New Strategy Revolutionizes Association Member Engagement. Implementing a board mandate, Security Industry Association (http://www.securityindustry.org), CEO Don Erickson encourages industry collaboration throughout the Association’s landscape.
The strategy is reflected in programs and services and visibly connects the Association’s business model to member business objectives. Financial performance metrics reinforce this approach: retention, new members and event participation are all net positive.
What is the 1 New Strategy?
Breaking past traditional political & legacy issues, SIA’s utilization of industry collaboration is opening new windows of opportunities. It’s also identifying new ways to support their member business growth objectives. Some examples of the Association’s outreach includes:
- Membership Diversification
- Alliance Building with Other Industry Associations
- Community Building
Member Objectives and SIA Business Model
Another key element of SIA’s transformation is the increasing their levels of company support. Building past primary membership contacts within an individual company, SIA is achieving member depth through reinvigorated strategies implemented by the membership team to reach General Counsels and C Suite officers and engage them in their areas of interest. The end result is higher levels of participation and strong member retention.
Collaborate & Grow
Under the umbrella of Alliance Building, CEO Erickson & his team methodically work to deliver programs that move the needle for their members. Increasing investment in online and in person training are just one example for what’s on tap for SIA members in 2014.
1 New Strategy Revolutionizes Association Member Engagement
As membership climbs, SIA’s almost 500 members who comprise the value chain of the electronic and physical security industry view the Association as a necessary strategic business partner. Key metrics confirm growing industry support too, retention consistently over 90% and average growth of almost 10% per year.
