membership association

A membership association is a group of individuals united by common interests, goals, or professions, who join voluntarily to participate, share resources, and support each other. Members often pay dues or fees to access services, information, or networking opportunities. These organizations are typically structured with a leadership or board to manage activities and advocate for members’ collective interests. Examples include professional societies, industry groups, and recreational clubs, all aimed at fostering collaboration, development, and a sense of community among members.
