Dear Colleague
Welcome to your February Issue! We kick-off our second issue of the year by inviting you to our next one-day national conference: Conducting Effective Membership Research to
Drive Member Value and Growth The conference will take place on 23rd May at the National Liberal Club (London) and will provide you with an opportunity to take a 'deep dive' into member research and how to 'get it right!'. See article below. In this issue we take a look at how you can use infographics to increase member engagement, provide a final opportunity to vote for our next series of 'Lunch and Learn' seminar topics and investigate 'How to do CPD'. This issue is kindly sponsored by our 2013 eUpdate Partner - Leading CRM provider, ASI Europe.
Let's get started!

MemberWise conference to focus on member research! | |
Effective membership research enables us to better understand the needs, requirements and opinions of our members and non-members!
This unique insight is critical during challenging times as it enables us to enhance and improve member engagement, deliver increased member value, and better recruit and retain members.
We are pleased to announce a one-day conference dedicated to this critical topic.
Conducting Effective Member Research to Drive Membership Value and Growth (in partnership with Research by Design)
Speakers will include Sue Froggatt, Christina Williams (PARN Head of Research), five leading membership sector researchers and IOSH Head of Communications, Ian Smart.
Case studies will include the British Veterinary Association, British Occupational Hygiene Society, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, Irish Pharmacy Union, Pensions Management Institute and the Royal College of Physicians.

'Harnessing the web...' Survey Results
| |
In late 2012 we consulted with over 3,000 membership organisations and associations to understand how the membership sector harnesses the power of the web to drive membership value and growth, and its plans for the future.
The results contained within this survey make for compelling reading and are both unique and statistically significant.
The MemberWise Network and research report sponsor, IndigoBlue, are pleased to announce the launch of this 'ground-breaking' survey report.
The survey is complemented by a 'handy' infographic (by Ocean Design) and a 'deep dive' summary of key elements of the report which will be published shortly by partner organisation, ASI Europe.
The results were presented yesterday to an audience of over 60 professional body and trade association leaders at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), London.

How to do CPD - A good read! | |
How to do CPD' is a refreshing approach from the Professional Development Consortium, a new organisation that is researching better, quicker and more affordable ways of doing professional development.
'How to do CPD' is informed by research into the CPD experiences of over 1000 professionals, and interviews with professional bodies and employers.
It suggests an alternative to the typical CPD cycle, with a stronger emphasis on collaborative approaches.
Instead of placing CPD within an overt educational framework, it views CPD as a tool to make better sense of the challenges individuals face in their roles.
