Your Connection to the Information Switchboard

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ASSOCIATIONS

13th Edition

EA is uniquely useful as the source for locating associations and professional societies that act as “switchboards” by connecting information seekers to highly qualified sources. The new 13th edition of EA tells you exactly whom to write, phone, or visit for information too fresh to appear in books and periodicals.

Vol. 1, NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE U.S.(1,477pp./ $80.00), describes 13,589 active organizations in 17 subject categories. Entries give: official name of group, popular name or acronym, address, phone number, chief executive, number of members, committees, publications, convention/meeting schedule, and more. With a massive 47,000-line Keyword/Alphabetical Index.

Vol. 2, GEOGRAPHIC AND EXECUTIVE INDEX(776pp./$65.00), provides two additional approaches to the information contained in Volume 1. The first part lists the associations in state and city order; the second lists all the executives. Each listing in both indexes gives organization name, chief executive, address, phone number, and the entry number of the more detailed organization entry in Volume 1.

Vol. 3, NEW ASSOCIATIONS AND PROJECTS(inter-edition subscription, $75.00), is a periodical supplement that maintains and increases the usefulness of Volume 1 by furnishing full entries on newly formed and newly discovered organizations, which are of particular interest because they tend to be concerned with new problems and new ideas not adequately covered elsewhere. Cumulatively indexed.
