Large-Scale Community Benchmarking Survey
The Large-Scale Community Benchmarking Survey, sponsored by Smartwebs, is designed to provide financial and operational performance metrics for large-scale community associations. This comprehensive study is designed to bring large-scale communities the information they need to identify trends and comparative information their community can use to assist in making crucial decisions to drive community growth and satisfaction. This survey is a valuable tool for large-scale managers seeking to benchmark their community association against a series of key performance indicators in the community association industry, including revenue, expenses, and operational trends.
