Who's in the Room in 10 Years? A CEO Conversation on Membership Growth

2026 Association Benchmarking Report cover

October 14 at 2 p.m. ET

Engaging young professionals remains one of the top challenges cited by association leaders. While associations are investing more in online communities and social-driven engagement to reach the next generation, mentoring, board seats, and traditional leadership tracks haven’t kept pace.

The deeper question isn’t just how to engage the members you have, but whether your membership model is built for who’s coming next.

Join Naylor CEO Christine Shaw and association CEOs Sheree Anne Kelly, President & CEO of the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, and Hester Ndoja, President & CEO of the Florida Society of Association Executives, for a conversation on membership growth, generational transition, and what’s actually working to build a durable pipeline, all grounded in the 2026 Association Benchmarking Report.
