As you may have heard, about a month ago I was appointed as the Executive Officer of the Australasian Society of Association Executives. AuSAE is the professional body supporting people working in the Australian and New Zealand not-for-profit sectors.

I was attracted to the opportunity to be a small part of that process.

While the idea of membership will continue, the antiquated models of recruiting, retaining and engaging members cannot survive in an increasingly challenging and ever-changing operating environment.
