MEMBERSHIP IN 2017
Our members are our biggest asset,
and we are only relevant as long as
we are relevant to them, so improving
services for members is a priority.
In 2017 we developed a new Membership Strategy that
will be implemented from 2018. The Strategy presents new
approaches to attract members and to engage existing
ones. Most new members usually join the network by
first participating in one of our projects, campaigns or
events. The new Strategy introduces an active recruitment
approach, where we will actively monitor profiles of relevant
organisations and invite them to become members.
To attract new members, we have also reworked the
Members part of the website. The new website includes
the map of our organisations and quotes from member
representatives explaining why they have joined ALL
DIGITAL, which gives credibility and adds a human touch
to the network.
For our existing members, we have continued providing
services in three main areas: capacity building; advocacy;
and research & innovation.
