I am posting this for a colleague at work..

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking for meta-organizations in the museum and non-profit field that
are characterized by the fact that they are basically associations of
associations.  In other words, organizations with individual members
(associations) that come together to form a meta-organization.

I am interested to find out what purpose these federations,
meta-associations, or umbrella-organizations serve, and what kind of
internal structure they chose to further their objectives.

Any good leads and contacts are highly appreciated and will be reciprocated
by the insights I will gain from this survey.
