Brad Parkes has lectured at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, examined for the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers and facilitated workshops for Specsavers. Outside of his professional commitments, Brad has also become recognised as a prolific professional speaker and a communications coach, as well as a qualified Toastmaster. Since 2003, Brad has been involved with Round Table, holding a number of posts including membership and development officer on the national board from 2006 to 2008. In 2012 Brad joined the Membership Team at The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, and 2013 saw him take up a post of Assistant to the Court - the equivalent of a board position in other organisations.
Brad Parkes has been involved with membership organisations at the highest levels for a number of years, and has developed a number of tried and tested strategies and approaches which, when applied, will help any membership organisation to flourish.In this book you will find a wealth of knowledge and expertise presented in a lively and attractive way, using a threefold approach:The story of a young man, Billy, just starting out on his career, Billy's boss and mentor Alex and a cafe called Archie's.Case studies and real-life examples.Suggestions, hints and tips to apply in order to run a membership organisation successfully.In today's increasingly fragmented society, it is crucial that membership organisations of all sorts and sizes survive and thrive.
