Networking Lunch (Canberra): Turning Members into Muscle 

Online registrations are now closed, to enquire about attending this lunch please email events@ausae.org.au

The Networking

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 senior management professionals from associations, charities and other non-profit organisations. Ample opportunity will be given for you to discuss issues and network with others.

The Topic

Government funding stresses are pertinent all year round. Many not-for-profit organisations are continually nervous about who will have funding cut and who won’t. 

Treasury will not necessarily focus on how detailed your submission is or how worthy your cause; they will look at what political muscle you have. That is what political capital you control and how well you can use it for OR against the Government.

This presentation will cover:

• How to avoid the constant threat of annual budget time
• What is political capital and why you want it
• How mobilising political capital wins you members as well as friends in high places
• Why building political capital is a numbers game but not one your accountant can help with

Attend this luncheon, to learn how to better leverage your membership to achieve the goals of your organisation and secure funding security.
