PAR Competency Model
One professional standard for every revenue role.
Association revenue work has never had a shared definition of competence. Every organization has invented its own, which makes hiring harder, development less clear, and career paths difficult to see.
A volunteer committee of working revenue professionals and leaders built this model to fix that. Three domains. Seven competency areas. Seventy skills.
A shared language
One vocabulary for describing revenue capability, across the country and around the world.
A development map
Shows you where you're strong now, and where to grow next.
A foundation to build on
Everything PAR builds next, including assessment, learning resources, and benchmarks, is derived from this model.
