Trade Association Seminar - Organizational Restructurings & Fundamental Changes: Legal, Practical and Other Considerations for Associations in a Challenging Economy

The current economic climate is creating strategic challenges and corresponding opportunities for many associations. Association membership and Boards of Directors are increasingly focusing on the need for cost cutting, increased efficiencies, and ways to stretch a dollar farther. And there are more pressures on association budgets, as some members request dues reductions, and other members temporarily pull back or entirely out of their associations. To respond, associations increasingly are considering “restructuring solutions”: strategic realignments, mergers, back-office consolidations, and/or joint ventures. These restructuring solutions provide association executives with opportunities to maneuver through these concerns.

Bryan Brewer and Irene Barbarena are conducting this seminar. The seminar will be held at Crowell & Moring's Washington, DC office.
