A Thank You + A Reveal into 2025 Chapter Trends

The holiday season is upon us and we want to take a moment to thank our clients, partners, and fellow association professionals for your support and collaboration over the years.

In January 2002, we set out with this single belief: chapters and their volunteers deserved better support. That belief became our compass, guiding us to launch an association management company focused on serving chapters, i.e., the state and regional groups that bring industries and professions to life at the local level.

Fast forward to today and that vision has taken us on an incredible journey: partnering with hundreds of organizations, pioneering new ways to strengthen chapters and empower volunteers and leaders, and building connections with thousands of association professionals across the globe.

This coming January marks our 24th anniversary and as we embark on our 25th year (wow!) serving the association profession, we’ll share accomplishments, dreams realized (and still to come), and insights to help associations continue to thrive. If there’s a question you’d like to have Mariner explore, let us know!

Finally, we close 2025 with the release of the latest component benchmarking and futures report – the deepest dive into geographic components to date – which is another example of working together. This project was a true collective effort of association pros to explore what has been and can be for member community. Dive into the full report or read a quick scan of what we found.
