Familiar? [Case Study for Professional Bodies]
A not-for-profit industry body recently completed a survey of its
200-odd corporate and individual members to gather feedback on how it
could enhance its membership services as well as its profile within the
industry. The results supported previous anecdotal feedback that members
desired their professional body to more proactively raise the standing
of the profession through relevant and timely continuing education and
networking activities with other stakeholders within the industry.
Currently, this body organised a major annual conference and 2-3 ad hoc
member events each year. Staffed by an already strapped 3-person
Secretariat and headed by an annually elected Council of 15 busy
volunteers, there was little time or resources to do much more each
year. Much depended on the goodwill and efforts of the volunteer
Committee members. While the professional body wished to grow its
membership, it found itself in the unenviable Catch-22 situation of not
having the resources to kick start these efforts, which would in turn
bring in the much needed funds and, consequently, desired industry
profile and membership growth.
Should it hire more Secretariat staff? Would these new staff be able to
research, shortlist and develop the many ideas the Committee has
put this new aggressive mandate into action?
Wouldn’t it be great to have an external partner who understood the
challenges of a non-profit professional body work with them from
discussion stage, through to planning, implementation and even review
and refinement, without adding to overheads?
