August 2016 (Issue 62)
 

Welcome to our August Newsletter!


This Summer we've seen a lot of change occur inside and outside of the association and membership sector: From Brexit to Pokemon Go, we are seeing 'the game change' online and offline.

As association and membership professionals we need to continue exceeding our members' expectations and as a network I hope we can continue to assist you in doing so!

This month we extend our Harrnessing the Web 2016
Early Bird offer (to 31st August)  in response to many of you returning from your well deserved summer breaks.

In this issue we launch our new survey summary report on membership organisation and association events (in partnership with Eventbrite), feature an Email Marketing Info Graphic and Guest Blog from Abby Wright-Parks, and feature a new engagement focused video insight from network member and long term advocate, Laura Fleming (Head of Membership at the Royal College of Physicians).

I hope you enjoy reading our newsletter and if you would like to submit or suggest any future content please do get in touch!
