The Networking

This event is now closed for online registrations, if you are interested in attending please email kerrie@ausae.org.au.

We invite you to take a couple of hours out of your day to connect with others in the industry to discuss high level topics of real importance, develop new relationships and gain critical information. This is a rare opportunity to network with other CEOs and senior management professionals from charities, associations and other non-profit organisations. Ample opportunity will be given for you to discuss issues and network with others.

The Topic

By 2020 millennials will make up 50% of the workforce. Join Angela as she discusses and outlines this emerging generation: how do we engage them, keep them as members and communicate effectively with them. 

Angela will cover the below during her presentation: 

  • Who are Gen Z and Gen Y and why should we care about them? What characteristics and dispositions do they have and what does research tell us to expect from this generation.
  • What is happening in the high schools/universities they are coming from? (what are their expectations around using social media, using technology to connect e.g.: email is dead for them so what are they using and why do we need to be there?
  • What can Associations do to cater for new graduates into the sector? In some ways getting them on board as members is relatively simple... via Universities, Cheaper entry level membership, Free membership in some cases. But what are some simple ways to engage these new kids on the block - because if they are not engaged... they won't renew their membership and we need to keep them on board.
  • How do we compete with 'break away' groups often run by Gen Y ex-members who use social media to leverage much of what Associations offer... for free and often recruiting large numbers of potential members?
