ACRA, the trade association for the American cultural resources management (CRM) industry, is seeking a qualified independent research firm to gather information about salaries and benefits that employees receive. ACRA conducted salary surveys in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2013, and 2019. The surveys have maintained a general focus on regional patterns of annual sales, business practices, and wage and benefit packages.

The independently collected and analyzed results provide essential longitudinal information on the state of the CRM industry. These data sets help substantiate industry trends over the long term, and no other organization collects this information specifically for the CRM industry. ACRA wishes to have the survey completed by the end of June 2023.
