When we say “we are the Cultural Alliance,” we’re not just referring to our staff and board. Our 438 member organizations are central to the Alliance. They are a growing community of professionals who benefit from meeting their peers at our networking events, learning best practices at our seminars and workshops, and relying upon Alliance marketing programs to broaden their reach. Cultural Alliance members represent every discipline and budget size, and are located throughout Greater Philadelphia, northern Delaware and southern New Jersey.
We offer a variety of member benefits and services to help organizations in practical ways, from office supply and hotel discounts to health care plans and our popular Job Bank. In our FY2015 membership survey, 96% of members showed satisfaction with their Cultural Alliance membership, and 89% said they find membership important to the operation of their organization.
