This course explores the notion of member value – how to create, communicate
and measure it.
It is ideal for membership staff and volunteers looking to
refresh their knowledge about the sector and will cover a range
of member services and benefits, alongside recent research on what
members value most.
This course will help to
guide thinking around recruitment, retention, engagement and attrition. In addition,
it will help conceptualise membership value to strengthen communications and
support for services.
This course encourages a perspective where member relations
are at the heart of all professional body activities, not simply confined to the membership department.
