An Associations Perspective: The Practitioner
An associations core purpose and value proposition for their membership is their ability to advocate on behalf of the sector, having been rated in the Associations Forum membership and services survey as the third most popular member benefit. This session will look at how associations have responded to the high expectations of members to represent them to government.
