In California, as of January 1, any employer with 15 or more employees must “include the pay scale for a position in any job posting. In addition, the pay scale must also be given to any third party that the employer engages to announce, post, or publish a job posting. The third-party is required to include the pay scale in its announcement, posting, or publication of the job posting.” Additional states, including South Carolina, currently have draft legislation in place.  [Read More](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/pay-transparency) [![](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/hubfs/wii.png)](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation-0) ## [What we learned at Non Dues-A-Palooza](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation-0) Oct 3, 2022, 11:58:43 AM / by [Maria McDonald](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/author/maria-mcdonald) posted in [Member Benefits](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/member-benefits), [Association Surveys](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/association-surveys), [Benchmarking for Associations](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/benchmarking-for-associations) [0 Comments](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation-0#comments-listing) [Read More](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation-0) [![](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/hubfs/lets-talk.png)](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation) ## [What Unconventional Ways are You Generating Non-Dues Revenue?](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation) Sep 21, 2022, 10:44:32 AM / by [Maria McDonald](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/author/maria-mcdonald) posted in [Member Benefits](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/member-benefits), [Association Surveys](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/association-surveys), [Benchmarking for Associations](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/benchmarking-for-associations) [0 Comments](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation#comments-listing) **- 90% of DEI Platforms are Sponsored -** [Read More](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-non-dues-revenue-conversation) [![](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/hubfs/bar.jpg)](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-member-data) ## [Don’t Be Average: Is your data misleading your members?](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-member-data) Aug 2, 2022, 4:15:20 PM / by [Maria McDonald](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/author/maria-mcdonald) posted in [Member Benefits](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/member-benefits), [Association Surveys](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/association-surveys), [Benchmarking for Associations](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/benchmarking-for-associations) [0 Comments](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-member-data#comments-listing) **- You are one of 9 people sitting in a bar.

Those surveys are usually conducted with an off-the-shelf product and then your staff spends time on the backend configuring the results and creating reports to release the findings. These surveys may be conducted anonymously or in the case of benchmarking studies, non-anonymous. But let’s get back to the question at hand, **What happens with your data once your survey is completed?** [Read More](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/dynamic-benchmarking-anonymous-feature) [![](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/hubfs/socialtake-3.jpg)](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/association-new-member-engagement-study-launch) ## [Do you know if your New Member Engagement Plan is Working?](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/association-new-member-engagement-study-launch) Mar 31, 2022, 8:53:30 AM / by [Maria McDonald](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/author/maria-mcdonald) posted in [Member Benefits](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/member-benefits), [Association Surveys](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/association-surveys), [Benchmarking for Associations](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/benchmarking-for-associations) [0 Comments](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/association-new-member-engagement-study-launch#comments-listing) In the past 6 months [Amanda Kaiser with Kaiser Insights](https://www.smooththepath.net/2022/03/03/so-we-are-super-curious/) and the DB team have been asked numerous times to BRING BACK the New Member Engagement Study.  Many of you are wondering how engaging new members has changed over the past few years and what others are doing successfully in this ever-changing landscape.  Are there new techniques that other organizations have implemented that’s working?
