Association Membership Summit 2027
Members are at the core of associations. A healthy membership leads to a vital organisation, yet even strong associations need to keep up-to-date on how to recruit, retain and engage members.

Topics to be covered include:
• Membership Recruitment, Retention & Growth
• Member Engagement, Collaboration & Services
• Advocacy and Technology to Enhance Membership
• Constitutional and Legal Aspects of Membership
• Managing Challenging Members
