  What to do and not do when your association reaches crisis point: How to prepare and bounce back after an issue and incident within your sector

  When a crisis strikes, whether it involves your association, a member or your wider industry, it can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. However, with the right preparation and response, you can stabilise your organisation and position it for future growth.

  In collaboration with AuSAE and Beaumont People, Bespoken’s Managing Director Sarah Morgan will draw on her experience as a journalist, media manager and communications professional to guide and provide practical tips for association executives, Board members and HR leaders on:

  • What to do before a crisis hits: preparation, planning and risk management
  • What to do when media comes knocking
  • How to ensure all stakeholders, members and staff are included and part of the collective solution
  • How to lead through uncertainty and maintain credibility and trust
  • How to protect the personal brands of executives and team members
  • How to bounce back with purpose: rebuilding confidence and driving long-term value for your organisation.

  Think of this session as your crisis survival kit, minus the band-aids, for leaders of associations.

  Our hosts:

  • Sarah Morgan, Managing Director at Bespoken
  • Jo Brown, General Manager at Beaumont People
  • Toni Brearley CAE, CEO at AuSAE

  The session will be hosted by Beaumont People. Beaumont People are a proud AuSAE Industry Partner.
