People and volunteer management is important. So we have provided a dedicated space on the website that pulls together all related content.

The Memberwise Network is the UK’s leading community for those working in membership. Because of this, we create fantastic best practice guidance. We love helping you do your job well. We run conferences and events in London every year to do just that. Join the Network and you can access all our resources. You can also join our online community, Connect. This will give you the opportunity to meet other membership people and volunteers and share your questions and ideas. Our commitment is to increase your efficiency as well as enhancing your value proposition. We will help you improve your membership retention and engagement rates. Best practice content is generated by the community so it is timely, current, targeted and robust. People and volunteer management is what we do.

So what makes the Network different? Our members tell us it is because we have created a thriving community. A community that is fully inclusive. We include membership professionals, sector experts, influencers, thought leaders and providers. Although we take our work seriously, we know how to have fun at the same time! We support over 6,500 individuals working in over 2,500 organisations. Many of which are new member acquisition roles.
