Industry Associations

Trade, industry, sector or other associations are generally organized to address the group's interest to ensure that their concerns are heard. Associations and organizations may provide publications free or at cost, with access that may be open or limited to membership, or open with requirement to register.  Industry association web sites may include Current Issues sections noting the impact of a policy or regulation on the industry.
