Chris Vaughan and Lisa Vaughan

Our Mission Is To Help Associations Grow Membership and Revenue

We believe associations change the world; by helping them get better, we make the world a better place. 

We left our careers as senior partners in a Big Strategy firm to bring better consulting to membership organizations. 

Chris was a high-level consultant on strategy, technology, and marketing to Global 1000 companies in our former lives. Lisa was a senior executive, working with CEOs and Boards of Directors on growth strategy, organizational change, and corporate development. 

We launched Sequence in 2001, focused exclusively on association growth. We have never looked back.
