About Professionals for Association Revenue (PAR):
For nearly a year, a group of experienced association leaders have been working to launch a new member organization, PAR. Set to launch in Summer 2020, PAR's mission is to inspire revenue growth for association professionals through knowledge, resources and community. The business development landscape is constantly changing, but the impact of COVID-19 is unprecedented.
While our website is not quite ready, our hope is to help other association teams approach their work with fresh concepts. Please join any of our upcoming webcasts, as our network comes together with ideas and effort to help all of us get through this time.
