Using Economic Analysis to Elevate Your Association’s Value

Session 1: Live Roundtable Discussion

How can associations effectively demonstrate their industry’s economic value, strengthen advocacy, and engage both members and policymakers?

Watch as IMPLAN’s Candi Clouse, Ph.D., hosts the first session of a two-part webinar series featuring a live roundtable discussion with association leaders who use economic impact analysis to support advocacy, enhance member value, and communicate industry impact.

Unlike a traditional webinar packed with slides, this session is designed to be interactive and discussion-based, giving you the opportunity to hear directly from association leaders about how they use economic insights in the real world.

Learn how organizations such as the National Restaurant Association, the Kentucky League of Cities, and the Alabama Hospital Association use economic insights to inform policy, engage stakeholders, and deliver value to their members.

In this session, you’ll learn how associations use economic analysis to:

• Strengthen Advocacy and Government Affairs: Leverage credible economic data to support legislative priorities and policy discussions.
• Increase Member Value and Engagement: Demonstrate your industry’s economic importance to support recruitment, retention, and industry pride.
• Build Credibility with Stakeholders: Communicate your industry’s economic contributions to legislators, boards, donors, and community partners.

You’ll also see how IMPLAN can help associations quickly generate audience-ready deliverables, including one-pagers, legislative briefs, dashboards, and annual industry snapshots.
