Welcome to our May Newsletter!
We start this issue off by thanking everyone who attended MEMX 2016 - Evolution V Revolution last month. What a fantastic day!
It was our largest national membership best practice conference so far & it attracted an incredible 329 delegates. The final conclusion on the Membership Evolution V Revolution debate shifted from a pre-event vote of "unsure" to a clear and informed 'Enhanced evolution" is our best way forward.
Over the next couple of weeks we have some great free events for you to attend including our next Select (CRM) half day seminar (only 4 places left) and the return of our popular Lunch and Learn Series (topic: VAT and Tax theme).
In this issue we invite you to express an interest in becoming one of our Harnessing the Web 2016 expert speakers, we launch our Association Event Temperature Check Survey (already completed by 83 membership bodies), update you on the latest SAMP developments and establish how the Royal Society of Chemistry is bolstering new member acquisition even before the member journey has started!
I hope you enjoy reading our newsletter and if you would like to submit or suggest any future content please do get in touch!
