Most membership bodies are finding it difficult to maintain membership levels in the face of economic and competitive pressures. There are many things you can do to retain your current membership and increase the uptake of new memberships but you do need to ensure that you have a clear strategy and stick to it. We believe that there are 3 key steps to keeping membership alive as follows:]]></description>

Member-based organisations are waking up, some with a bump, to the reality that in today’s world they can no longer automatically rely on the loyalty of established members or that they will renew their subscriptions next year. So why are more people questioning the value of membership? It’s easy to blame the economic downturn. It’s equally easy to conclude that organisations are not providing enough benefits to be attractive, but the simple truth is that if people want to be a member enough, they will pay for it. The question is not ‘are we offering enough benefit?’ but ‘are we offering the right kind of benefit?’ ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So started one of the most difficult, challenging and rewarding periods of my career. I learnt how to be patient, how to talk to members in committee meetings, how to build new bridges between members and staff groups - faculties, marketing, policy and public affairs, education and the commercial operation to name a few of their 37 departments – between the Institution and other organizations (including central Government), between regions (UK and worldwide) and about how to carefully gain advocacy for, engineer and implement brand change despite powerful resistance from some influential quarters. ]]></description>
