Horizon Association Strategies was created to provide focused, high-level consulting support to associations and membership-based organizations. As a division aligned with Horizon Professional Services, our team brings not only strategic expertise, but also real-world experience in managing and operating associations.
We understand the challenges associations face because we work within them every day. From governance and membership engagement to financial sustainability and program development, our team has been directly involved in the decisions and operations that shape successful organizations.
Our consulting approach is built on three principles:
- Clarity – Defining realistic goals and priorities. We are different from most consulting firms in that we perform deep research into your organization and provide very clear and concise goals and objectives.
- Structure – Building strategies that are organized and actionable. We believe in both quantitative and qualitative objectives, as both are essential to fulfilling goals of any good professional association.
- Execution Awareness – Ensuring plans can be successfully implemented. All strategic plans and strategies will be designed for measurable and obtainable execution by the association.
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every engagement is tailored to the unique needs, resources, and mission of the organization.
