This is a primer, not a manifesto, not a manual, and not a glossy vision of what associations could be if only they had more time, money, or alignment. This is a starting point. A sharp, accessible guide for association leaders who know that the ground beneath them is shifting, and want to act before it cracks.
This Primer distils essential insights from The Modern Association Playbook and Ecosystem Economics for Modern Associations into a practical, board-ready format.
It introduces the core shifts shaping association relevance, from membership to participation, from service delivery to platform enablement, and from risk avoidance to adaptive stewardship.
This is a primer. For strategy. For governance. For what comes next.
