The “official” merging of the SVTA and @DASH_IF is complete, but a merger of two industry organizations — including their missions and members — is a complex, ongoing process, requiring careful planning and consideration of many details, as well as a consistent focus on why the merger happened in the first place. If you’re curious about the process — including what’s done and what’s still to come — or planning a similar activity, take a look at the most recent blog post from our CEO, @_JasonThibeault. He reviews lessons learned — from legal to financial to member considerations — but the most important thing along the way is continually remembering to "see the forest for the trees."
