Executive Roundtable (Sydney) - What’s Really Driving Member Results (24 Jun 2026)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 04:45:00 GMT

Across the sector, membership numbers are up, retention is improving, and confidence is growing. But those results aren’t coming from enthusiasm, intent, or good ideas alone. This executive roundtable explores what’s really driving member results right now.

Drawing on current benchmark insights and peer experience, the discussion will focus on how some associations are translating effort into outcomes - while others are working just as hard without the same lift.

Through facilitated roundtable discussion, participants will compare notes on how leaders are seeing what’s working, identifying friction early, and acting consistently across the member journey. The conversation is practical, candid, and designed to help leaders sharpen where to focus next to sustain results.

Key Learnings:

Why improved membership results aren’t happening evenly across the sector
What helps leaders clearly see which initiatives are delivering impact
How early friction in the member experience shows up - and why it’s often missed
What enables faster, more consistent action across the member journey
How confidence in outcomes changes strategic focus and decision-making

Our hosts:

Paul Ramsbottom, Managing Director at Advanced Solutions International (Asia-Pacific)
Marla Nelson, Marketing Manager at Advanced Solutions International (Asia-Pacific)

The roundtable will be hosted by ASI, the developers of iMIS. ASI is a proud AuSAE Premium Alliance Partner.
