Richard is Founder and Chair of the popular association and membership professional network, MemberWise, and Chair of the CPD Standards Office Independent Advisory Board. He is a practicing membership professional currently employed (via the MemberWise Network) as Interim Director of Engagement Management at the Law Society (TLS). Rich has worked within the association and membership organisation sector for over 14 years and has held senior leadership roles within high profile bodies including: British Dental Association (BDA), College of Optometrists (COO), National Assessment Agency (NAA), Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors (CIEA), Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych). Richard’s recent achievements include growing RCGP’s membership from 40,000 to 50,000 members in less than 3 years (generating a supplementary £16m in annual subscription income), reviewing and restructuring the RCPsych’s regional activity and creating the organisation’s 3 year strategy/plan (in association with the Chief Executive). He is a true advocate of professionalising the membership and association sector and I am known for ‘walking the talk’ with a ‘no nonsense approach’ from a membership development perspective!
