Kushner Consulting is an association management and consulting firm built around the idea that associations deserve experienced professionals who care about their success as much as their volunteers do.

We combine practical association management experience with a deep understanding of governance, leadership, strategy, and the industries and professions our clients represent.

As a family-owned firm, we take a personal approach to every client relationship. We get to know the people behind the organization, understand what makes each association unique, and build our work around the goals that matter most to them.

Our team brings decades of combined experience to the organizations we serve, including expertise leading associations, working with boards and volunteers, managing membership programs, planning events, developing strategy, and navigating complex organizational challenges.

With team members and a professional presence in Indianapolis and the Washington, DC area, Kushner Consulting brings a national perspective while maintaining a personal approach.
