Introducing Trade Associations
• A trade association, also known as an industry trade group, business
association or sector association, is an organization founded and
funded by businesses that operate in a specific industry.
• An industry trade association participates in public relations activities such
as publicity, advertising, education, political
donations, lobbying and publishing, but its main focus is collaboration
between companies, or standardization.
• Associations may offer other services, such as producing conferences,
networking or charitable events or offering classes or educational
materials.
• Many associations are non-profit organizations governed by bylaws and
directed by officers who are also members.
Source: Wikipedia
What associations are active in the UAE

• Chamber of Commerce e.g. DCCI
• NGOs e.g. Arabia CSR Network and Emirates Wildlife

Theory of Change…
•

•

•

A Theory of Change defines all building blocks required to bring about a given
long-term goal.
This set of connected building blocks–interchangeably referred to as outcomes,
results, accomplishments, or preconditions is depicted on a map known as a
pathway of change/change framework, which is a graphic representation of the
change process.
It differs from any other method of describing initiatives in a few ways:
– it shows a causal pathway from here to there by specifying what is needed
for goals to be achieved
– it requires you to articulate underlying assumptions which can be tested
and measured.
– it changes the way of thinking about initiatives from what you are doing to
what you want to achieve and starts there.

How to evaluate your Membership
outcomes

• AVE doesn’t apply!
Barcelona Principles
1. Importance of Goal Setting and Measurement
2. Measuring the Effect on Outcomes is Preferred to Measuring
Outputs
3. The Effect on Business Results Can and Should Be
Measured Where Possible
4. Media Measurement Requires Quantity and Quality
5. AVEs are not the Value of Public Relations
6. Social Media Can and Should be Measured
7. Transparency and Replicability are Paramount to Sound
Measurement
Principle 2: Measuring the Effect on
Outcomes is Preferred to Measuring
Outputs
• Outcomes include shifts in awareness, comprehension, attitude and
behavior related to purchase, donations, brand equity, corporate
reputation, employee engagement, public policy, investment decisions,
and other shifts in stakeholders regarding a company, NGO, government
or entity, as well as the stakeholder’s own beliefs and behaviors
• Practices for measuring the effect on outcomes should be tailored to
the business objectives of the PR activities. Quantitative measures
such as benchmark and tracking surveys, are often preferable. However,
qualitative methods can be well suited or used to supplement quantitative
measures
• Standard best practices in survey research including sample design,
question wording and order, and statistical analysis should be applied
in total transparency

  • 10. Introducing Trade Associations • A trade association, also known as an industry trade group, business association or sector association, is an organization founded and funded by businesses that operate in a specific industry. • An industry trade association participates in public relations activities such as publicity, advertising, education, political donations, lobbying and publishing, but its main focus is collaboration between companies, or standardization. • Associations may offer other services, such as producing conferences, networking or charitable events or offering classes or educational materials. • Many associations are non-profit organizations governed by bylaws and directed by officers who are also members.

This set of connected building blocks–interchangeably referred to as outcomes, results, accomplishments, or preconditions is depicted on a map known as a pathway of change/change framework, which is a graphic representation of the change process. It differs from any other method of describing initiatives in a few ways: – it shows a causal pathway from here to there by specifying what is needed for goals to be achieved – it requires you to articulate underlying assumptions which can be tested and measured. – it changes the way of thinking about initiatives from what you are doing to what you want to achieve and starts there.
