 Welcome to our Relaunch Issue. I hope you had a relaxing Christmas break! A New Year brings with it a completely new look, so in this relaunch issue I am delighted to introduce our new branding and the long awaited launch of our new website www.memberwise.org.uk
I hope you welcome these new developments and I would be delighted to hear your feedback. I am also pleased to announce the launch of our next national conference, Membership Excellence 2016 (#MEMX16) to be held on 21st April in Central London, We launch with an allocatoin of 100 Early Bird places and discounted 3 for 2 group booking. Finally, we have insightful contributions on our January monthly theme of membership staff recruitment.
