The Association Engagement Index is a global benchmark study that measures the performance, relationship strength and outcome of engagement tactics as seen through the eyes of associations’ members and customers. It allows associations to evaluate their performance against likeminded associations across multiple sectors and develop new activation strategies to enhance engagement.

Fifty-one associations participated in the 2022 Association Engagement Index generating more than 12,700 responses from members and customers in 118 countries providing their evaluation of the effectiveness and performance of their association.

Association Testimonial
“We were pleasantly surprised by the strong engagement index and NPS. The engagement was a new metric for us. We’ve shared the results of the AEI report with our senior team and Executive Committee. It was validation to the trajectory we are on and some of the new plans in the pipeline. Thank you very much for providing us this unique insight with the benchmark perspective.”

"Our community grew over 10% in 2022 due to the membership campaign and the many activities we have launched this year. We learnt that tracking the behaviour of our members and participants at our events is not enough. We are now listening to our young community on social media and involve them more in projects and initiatives."
