Review Strategic Plan / Progress on Plan

• During 2015, Board developed a Strategic Plan to

guide the Association’s development over the next

3-5 years

• Members were extensively consulted so that Board

Members and Management Team had a clear

sense of industry’s priorities

• The outputs of that process were published to

members earlier this year.

Strategy 1: Support Development and Growth of Profession,

Community and Association

(marketing materials, website, CRM etc)

2015-16 Review

Strategy 3: Ensure Organisational Sustainability (Governance,

Management, Finances).

• Each Board Member working with EC and Management Team on an area of specific interest

• Some progress with strategic partnerships and sponsors (PD, Website, RAEAWARDS,

Conference). Importance of sponsorships, partnerships, advertising etc to supplement

levies.

• Financial and member numbers reviewed at every monthly Board Meeting. Incomes spread

largely over:

• Member Levies 41.5% (mainly funding GM and ES)

• Conference 41.5% (Generated $41K surplus)

• Sponsors and Advertising 12% (Excluding Conference and Awards)

• Other Events (L&D etc) 5% (Funds events, L&D, AGM etc)

• Ongoing challenge to identify and explore new sources of funding to ensure long term

sustainability of Association. Important that members support services provided and

communicate their needs and preferences.
