Activities of professional membership organisations

NACE code 94.12 covers the activities of professional membership organisations, which play a vital role in the broader economy. These organisations represent and promote the interests of their members, often professionals or businesses within a specific industry or field. They contribute to the development and advancement of their respective sectors, fostering collaboration, setting standards, and advocating for their members' needs.

The core activities of professional membership organisations typically involve organising meetings and conferences, providing training and educational programs, publishing industry-specific publications, and facilitating networking opportunities for their members. These organisations also engage in policy advocacy, lobbying government and regulatory bodies on behalf of their members' interests.

The primary inputs required for the activities of professional membership organisations include a dedicated staff, office space, communication and information technology infrastructure, and a membership base that actively participates in the organisation's activities. Funding is also a crucial input, often derived from membership fees, event registrations, and other revenue streams.

The main outputs of professional membership organisations are the services and resources they provide to their members, such as industry insights, professional development opportunities, and a platform for collective representation. The outputs of these organisations can have a significant impact on 94.11 Activities of business and employers membership organisations and 94.99 Activities of other membership organisations n.e.c..
