The Member--Centric Association Configuring Your Organization for Membership...McKinley Advisors
Member-centric organizations prioritize understanding and serving member needs over other considerations like organizational needs or financial goals. Some of these scenarios could be interpreted either way depending on additional context, but in general:
- Conducting member research before decisions helps ensure choices align with what members value.
- Inviting broad member participation in advocacy recognizes the importance of member voices in shaping policy agendas.
- Exclusively CEO events may risk excluding or disengaging other important member roles.
- Requiring programs break even in one year could discourage innovation or investing in longer-term member value.
The key is balancing organizational sustainability with continuously learning about and responding to evolving member priorities.

Gillian has extensive experience of developing and delivering programmes in the charity and not-for-profit sectors; particularly within the areas of creative enterprise, education and employment.
NESTA is the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts - an independent body with a mission to make the UK more innovative. We invest in early-stage companies, inform policy, and deliver practical programmes that inspire others to solve the big challenges of the future.
We know the creative industries are critical to the UK’s cultural and economic success, contributing more than £50 billion to the economy every year. They also generate important 'spillover' benefits for other sectors that work with them to create innovative products and services. But creative businesses face their own unique barriers to growth and success. NESTA is working to understand why, and to find ways of helping creative businesses unleash their full innovative potential.
