For many charities, events and membership numbers are under pressure. Members are more selective about which associations they support and many have reduced funding available for attending events.

Industry is cutting back its support of events. Venue costs are high. Competition is fierce.

I have twenty years’ successful experience in academic and medical society membership development and event management. I have a respected track record in improving the member offering, increasing membership numbers, and increasing event delegate and abstract numbers, as well as industry input.
