Working to engage members in CDP particularly in support of them maintaining their professional registration

It’s easy to be excited about engaging with younger members or recruiting new members. But what about those who have been with the association for many years, who may be in the middle years of their career and who are the “bread and butter” of your association.

It’s easy to be excited about engaging with younger members or recruiting new members. But what about those who have been with the association for many years, who may be in the middle years of their career and who are the “bread and butter” of your association.

  • What are associations doing to keep these long-term members involved and engaged?
  • Loyal members have an important role to play as advocates and volunteers. Are associations making the best use of this significant, but often overlooked group?
  • How should associations be communicating with them about career-appropriate benefits, volunteering or other activities?

Registration Manager, Institute of Physics

I am currently responsible for managing the Institutes 6 professional registers, Chartered Physicist, Chartered Engineer, Registered Scientist, Incorporated Engineer, Registered Science Technician and Engineering Technician. This includes promoting professional development and the requirements for maintaining professional registration through CPD. Part of my role involves liaising with our Accredited Company Training Schemes and working with them to make the scheme a quality product which ensures those on the schemes are on a clear pathway to professional registration. I work closely with the Accreditation and Professional Development Manager and we are responsible for the maintenance of the Chartered Physicist standards and I also liaise with both the Science Council and the Engineering Council to ensure our processes are in line with their standards.  I enjoy CPD, professional development and supporting applicants throughout their career journey. My main passion is quality assurance and the process of always improving on what we offer. Meeting new people is also a reason why I'm in this sector
