Abstract	Many challenges face professional organizations. This study focused on the contributions, challenges, and trends in business education professional organizations over the years. Data was gathered from formal and informal sources associated with 17 business education professional organizations. The study showed that primary challenges were maintaining organizational membership and maximizing revenue and profit. Trends include membership fee increases that are coupled with reduced services and less communication with members, fewer and shorter conferences, outsourcing activities, and a decreased commitment to volunteerism. A cautionary approach to joint ventures between organizations was recommended. (Author).
