Real growth comes from one thing: aligning your distinctive assets with unserved member needs. It’s what we call our “Way to Play” framework. The “Way to Play” is the intersection of two things: → The unmet needs of your members or market. → The unique assets your association brings that no one else can match. When those overlap, you’ve found your right to win. That’s the space where your organization owns the ground. For one association, that meant stepping fully into the role of “champion” for physicians - using their brand, advocacy strength, and research to meet unserved needs no one else was addressing. For another, it looked completely different because every association’s “Way to Play” is unique. That said, there’s a common thread: Once leaders can clearly articulate it, membership models, marketing, strategic planning, and everything else gets sharper and more effective. Without it, you’re left with scattered efforts and unclear value. With it, you have a foundation for real growth. How has your association defined its “right to win”?
