MemberWise Event eUpdate
Driving Membership Forward. Together.
December 2015
Issue No 54
Welcome!
Greetings!

Welcome to our final newsletter of 2015!

It has been quite a year for MemberWise and I hope we have continued to provide you with practical help and support!

On behalf of the network I would like to thank you for your continued engagement.

In 2016 your network will continue to evolve!
 
The monthly theme for December is innovative ideas and practice, and our blog contributors have stepped up to the challenge:  with articles on innovation including mobile publishing, online voting, insurance products and the use of creative agencies. Our opinion piece also contains particularly strong views on the apparent over-use of the word "innovation" and another author advocates an "innovate we must" stance - Please do have a read and comment!

Holly
Christmas will be here soon so I wish you all a festive holiday season and a very happy and successful  new year!

More to follow in 2016!
