ABOUT SARAH SLADEK & CO

20 years of helping membership organizations engage people and realize growth

Hi, I’m Sarah Sladek

I’ve been in your shoes before. I’ve worked as an association executive, volunteered on committees, served on and led boards of directors. In fact, it was while I was working as an association executive when the idea for this firm came to me.

I wanted to understand why membership decline happened and how to reverse it.

I saw an opportunity for organizations to learn how to navigate disruption and plan for their futures.

And I believed associations were only reaching a small fragment of their potential.

I’ve dedicated my career to finding the answers and identifying the strategies needed to catapult associations forward. Now, I teach these strategies to associations worldwide.

My team and I are committed to the success of associations. Here’s how we can help your organization:
