This publication was compiled in response to cries for help with the overwhelming use of acronyms and jargon within the membership and association sector.
The Jargon Buster provides a handy resource enabling you to check meanings immediately, access definitions easily and have conversations with confidence.
This book is a great idea. It is the kind of book that’s worth having close at hand so you can confidently put your point across in any membership or association conversation at any time. The membership industry is all about being inclusive and if we can help make entering the industry itself even more accessible through demystifying some of the language then we are taking a leaf out of our own book, so to speak.
Working in the world of membership bodies can seem daunting, given that the sector is unique in many ways and has developed its own set of jargon. This book is an invaluable reference tool, comprehensively and clearly explaining many terms – both general and sector-specific – that you may need to know and understand.
A detailed and practical guide for anyone involved with trade associations and professional membership bodies. This is an invaluable resource for those who don’t know as well as those who should know, but don’t.
