The Melos Institute is a nonprofit nonpartisan independent think tank.

We work with thinkers & shapers across generations & professions

to find new & better ways for volunteer & staff leaders to deliver

more meaningful & transformative experiences to their members.

Our programs encourage a vibrant debate and exchange of ideas

in search of practical & pragmatic solutions.

Our applied research initiatives are geared to help us understand

the strategies & tactics as well as the principles, processes, & tools

that will produce an active & engaged membership.

 These findings are then made available to volunteer & staff leaders interested in advancing their membership-based organization

for their own satisfaction & that of their members.
