  23. Any Questions?

  24. Stuck in our Ways!Time for a Change Bill Alexander & Diane Timms

  25. What triggered the review? • Feedback from our members • Feedback from the recent questionnaire • Reduction in the membership • The market has changed rapidly and the Association hasn’t.

  26. The Process • Select a small team of six or seven members that can add different perspectives. • Undertake an “MOT” • Feedback and recommendations to all members.

  27. The Team • Diane Timms Theatre Tokens • Bill Alexander Red Letter Days • Helen Child G-T-P • Chris Reddish PIF • Andrew Johnson UKGC&VA • Dan Mountain BuyaGift • Rachelle Smith Prepay Solutions • Tony Craddock Giftex

  28. Progress to date • First meeting 3rd September • Completed the first review and recommendations • Presented to the Exec 17th September

  29. Strengths • Networking • The Annual Conference • Data – (well, hopefully it is today!) • Broad membership base • Regulation & Tax • Legislation • Representation of the industry

  30. Weaknesses • Networking – too cliquey • Communication – both internally and externally • Poor quality data • Structure of members meetings • Lack of a clear brief and strategy • UK focus only • Member boundaries – special interest groups etc • Research – does one size fit all?

  31. Opportunities • Better communication • Overseas members • Better collaboration with Giftex & PIF • Segmentation of the membership • Better targeted research • More members

  32. Threats • Losing members • Not giving members the benefits that they personally need • Giftex & PIF • Resources – cash and time • Doing nothing!!

  33. Conclusions • What we represent and our goals are still valid • We have to improve communication • We have to find a way to serve our diverse membership better • We need to engage at all levels • We need to move much quicker and deliver much more

  34. Proposal • Set up Project Groups • Such as Market research, Data, Regulations, PR, The Conference, Memberships etc. • Get interested members to attend, contribute and run. • Develop better and relevant communications

  35. How will Project Groups work? • Chaired by a member • Sponsored by an Exec member • Kept to around 10 active participants • Non-active members can be “attached to a Project” • Objectives, timescales and resources agreed up front • Minutes will be produced • Updates presented at member meetings, through Voom, email or the website.

  36. The first Project Groups? • Market research • Regulation – this may breakdown into VAT, PSD etc • Internal communications – how do we improve them? • PR & external communication • Membership boundaries • Conference • E&Y data Kevin Turbull would like to see Bigger Issues included: Carbon Emissions, collaboration with other associations

  37. How do we kick it all off? • Sign up outside in reception • Do you want to participate or be a non-active participant? • Indicate if you are prepared to Chair the Group • The Chair and the Exec sponsor will take it up from there. • New Project Groups to be created by the members • Through Andrew, who will set up the Project Group

  38. Over to the members • You can all make a real difference • You will get out of this what you put in • Project Groups will be created for any interested groups • Communication will be improved all round • We will deliver members needs even with a diverse membership
