Association Forum of Chicagoland Foundation
Founded in 1916, the Association Forum of Chicagoland is the “association of associations” in Chicago. Forum has 4,000+ members who represent more than 44,000 association professionals from nearly 1,600 Chicago organizations. The mission of the Forum is to advance the professional practice of association management.
In late 2015, the Association Forum of Chicagoland Foundation partnered with ADS to conduct a comprehensive feasibility and planning study. The purpose of the study was to explore opportunities to revitalize and refocus the Foundation as the Forum prepared to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Through the Study, ADS captured valuable insights and provided tangible recommendations that will aid the Forum as it makes important decisions on future strategies for delivering value to its members, industry, and the greater association management community.
