My first MemberWise conference and as a relatively newcomer to the member sector, I found both the sessions and networking opportunities incredibly useful and inspiring.
Georgina Cox, Head of Membership and Marketing, Cycling UKI am key advocate of MemberWise. The network is second to none and I cannot thank you all enough for the great resources and the time you spend making them high quality.
Kathryn Jack, Member Engagement Lead, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)As a newbie to the Membership Sector, I thought the conference was a great introduction to the concept of putting our members at the heart of our organisation. Lots of great ideas. I just wish I could have cloned myself and attended more of the sessions!
Lynne Gravatt, Head of Resources, FDA UnionI have found everything the MemberWise Network does is extremely useful and everyone so helpful during these difficult times. Keep it up!
Chrisine Gatman, The Quilters' GuildThe MemberWise Conference is an exciting, inspiring day packed with ideas and brings a huge and varied community of membership organisations and professionals together.
Abigail Warren, Marketing Officer, Charity Finance Group (CFG)An excellent conference that delivered a great overview of the current trends in membership.
Rohan Hewavisenti, Director of Finance and Corporate Services, NHS ConfederationI’ve been a member of the Memberwise Network more or less since it started, and have lost counted of how many people I’ve encouraged to join. Whatever your experience, seniority or level of involvement in membership organisations, it is far and away the most extensive and the most proactive network to help build your skills and knowledge and connect with other membership professionals.
Richard Lambert, Chief Executive, National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF)I recently joined the MemberWise Network – the community forum and resources are a great place to go for the help and advice and the conference programmes are chock full of stimulating ideas.
