Operations

The operational efficiency of an association is essential in driving your organization forward. Up-to-date bylaws, effective and responsible board meetings, and fiscal compliance are essential for the Board of Directors to achieve the visible success that members expect. The Grey Pine Group has you covered, by organizing board meetings, crafting meaningful agendas, and implementing other best practices that ensure your organization is firing on all cylinders.

Strategy

A well-planned and executed strategy is the foundation of every association. We are fully equipped to support your organization’s strategic planning needs, overseeing the goals and objectives throughout the process of implementation and execution. Our strategic planning is always done in partnership with our members, as we craft, organize, and implement tactics to support your organization’s mission, stability, and growth.

Advocacy

Our advocacy services will position your organization to shape legislation and drive regulations that will positively impact your members. Grey Pine will work with your organization to establish or grow the group’s legislative presence, while leading the effort to activate your membership in support of critical legislative and regulatory priorities. We will also develop key messaging points and grassroots training opportunities to create a consistent legislative effort across your entire membership base.

Events

Association events are a great way to bring members together, provide a platform to share valuable ideas, and generate revenue for the organization. Our events team excels in planning functions of any size, from small networking sessions to large-scale conferences, giving your members a chance to fully engage and participate in supporting your organization’s mission.

Membership

The strength of an association is directly impacted by the strength of its membership. Each provides inherent value to the other, and as we partner with our clients to grow your membership base, we will help strengthen the tools at your disposal to offer tangible added value to retain loyal members.
