Membership-based organizations

Membership-based organizations are groups or associations created to serve the interests of their members, who typically pay dues or fees to join. These organizations offer resources, support, networking, and often advocacy related to a shared profession, goal, or interest. Examples include professional associations, clubs, or industry groups. The primary purpose is to foster collaboration, provide benefits, and represent members' interests collectively. Membership privileges often include access to events, information, training, and a sense of community, with the organization's activities aligned to support the needs and goals of its members.
