Navigating Consolidation: Serving Members During Industry Shifts

from Association Transformation · host Brewer Pratt Solutions & Elevated

Send us Fan Mail🎙️ In this compelling episode of Association Transformation, Elisa Pratt hosts this important deep dive solo and takes on one of the most pressing challenges facing trade associations today: industry consolidation. Joined by Rob Paterkiewicz (Selected Independent Funeral Homes) and Leann Shepp (American Bankers Association), the conversation reveals how associations are adapting to dramatic marketplace changes as private equity and corporate acquisitions reshape their membership landscapes. From the banking sector's "bank-a-day" consolidation rate to the funeral home industry's struggle to maintain independent ownership, these association leaders share candid insights about evolving membership models, dues structures, and the creative ways they're supporting members through transitions while staying true to their missions. This frank discussion explores not just the challenges of consolidation, but also the opportunities it presents for associations to reimagine their value proposition and service delivery in an increasingly consolidated world.Support the show
