The study identifies factors influencing professional associations’ member engagement using the “information practices” approach. In this autoethnography study, the experiences, epiphanies, and the frequency counts of 11 information practices of six SIG-III officers and volunteers when planning and implementing 184 activities of eight initiatives online from 2020 to 2023 helped us identify 99 factors that influence member engagement. Using thematic analysis, we classify these factors into 18 clusters and three groups, namely, management-centric, sharing-centric, and benefits for members. Eight tables representing eight SIG-III initiatives with detailed activities from the Information Practice lens are presented in the attached file. Operational definitions of the information practices are presented.
