Trade Association Best Practices: What Your Trade Association Needs to Know (and Might Not)

Trade associations are at the forefront of issues that are important to their industry and to their members. Whether it is membership meetings, education and training sessions, litigation or lobbying, your members not only put a great deal of trust in your trade association, but also frequently look to you for guidance. Trade association leadership is often in a unique position of balancing membership input with overall trade association activities all while making sure that the trade association remains in compliance with applicable law.

Our speakers touch on what your trade association needs to know (and may not) about: governance, lobbying, political activities, anti-trust considerations and litigation. They also discuss the upcoming election and the potential implications for trade associations and their members.
