MemberWise Event eUpdate
Driving Membership Forward. Together.
August 2015
Issue No 50
Welcome!


Welcome to our new look monthly MemberWise  e-newsletter!

You will notice there have been some changes!

The MemberWise eUpdate, shared monthly with our network of 3,800+ subscribers, celebrates its 50th issue, with the first being published back in September 2011 (quite an achievement I hope you agree!). To mark this milestone, we have given the e-newsletter a bit of a  makeover.

What's changed? We have modified the layout to ensure content is accessible, targeted, and concise. From September we will introduce a theme to each issue. In September the theme will be Data Protection.

I hope you welcome these changes and that you enjoy reading this issue!

Yours Sincerely,

Richard Gott
