KnowledgeWorks Global and GrowthZone, a provider of association management software, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the delivery of services to medium-sized nonprofit associations, particularly those within the STEM community.
The collaboration brings together KGL’s Association Management Unit—known for its high-touch service model and extensive expertise in scholarly and professional society management—with GrowthZone’s innovative technology platform for associations. This integrated solution aims to streamline operations, improve member engagement, and promote organizational growth.
“This partnership is a game-changer for our clients,” said Cara Rivera, Vice President of Association Management at KnowledgeWorks Global “By combining KGL’s full-service association management capabilities with GrowthZone’s intuitive and scalable software, we’re better equipped than ever to support STEM-focused associations. From membership renewals to event execution, our teams can now work smarter and deliver even greater value to mission-driven organizations.”
The GrowthZone platform will act as the central hub for managing member data, communications, events, billing, and reporting. This enables KGL’s association management clients to concentrate on advancing their missions and less on administrative tasks.
“We are pleased to collaborate with KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd. to deliver our powerful, integrated solution to STEM associations,” stated Paul Plaia, III, CEO of GrowthZone. “Our platform is designed to streamline operations and reduce staff workload, enabling associations to concentrate on their core objectives—serving their members and furthering their missions. Alongside KGL’s extensive sector expertise, we are establishing a new benchmark for association support.”
This strategic partnership arrives on the heels of KGL’s 2025 investments in personnel and infrastructure to expand its association management services. With the recent additions of Megan E. Turcotte, CAE, as Executive Director of Association Management, and Dawn Amick, CMP, as Senior Meetings Manager, KGL is well-positioned to deliver a seamless blend of expert guidance and advanced technology to associations navigating today’s complex environment.
