Here at NCVO Third Sector Foresight, we have been thinking about the future of membership for a long time. This thought culminated in a year-long research project run jointly with the RSA on behalf of twelve leading charitable membership organisations. Based on this research, we published a short guide to the most important drivers for membership organisations over the next five years and I blogged throughout the project to try and share what we were discussing.
But we don’t want the thinking, and the project, to end there. That’s why we’ve asked Matthew Taylor, CEO of the innovative membership organisation the RSA, to talk about membership in the light of his organisation’s experiences and the research of the future of membership project. This think piece will be available on this website and on the policy section of the NCVO website this autumn and we hope that others will respond to the piece and build on the discussion.
And we want the conversation to go further.
We want to know
What are your own experiences of dealing with membership issues today?
How is your organisation engaging with its members?
Are there any particular initiatives that you think are particularly exciting?
What’s your view of the major challenges and opportunities for membership organisations at the moment?
Why we want to know it
Our aim is that in time we can build a conversation that will share good practice, create a community of membership managers and shape NCVO’s policy work on membership.
