Is CPD Vision on Your Radar?
Membership Sector Blog

This month we take a look at CPD and how, on the face of it, sector development in this area seems to have slowed in recent years.

This article reviews the evolution of CPD and signposts a great document published a few years ago by the International Federeration of Accountants (IFAC). We also take a look at the CPD Visions Sessions that will be chaired by the CPD Standards Office at MEMX 2015

More Lunch & Learns on their way!

Providers - We are looking for hosts/sponsors to drive forward our programme forward. If you would like to host or sponsor one of our popular Lunch and Learns or evening MemberWise Meets please contact us.
Perfect Membership Scheme (V2)!
New Membership Scheme Advice

A year ago we launched a dedicated advice sheet on how to develop, update or completely reconstruct a membership scheme.

The advice sheet is a sector first. Why? Because it contains advice created by the sector, for the sector. It also includes our top 40 questions to ask in order establish if your current scheme is 'bullet proof'.

The advice sheet proved so popular that we have updated and relaunched it with the support of MemberWise Recognised Supplier and Official MEMX 2015 Print & Fulfilment Sponsor FT Solutions.
