The FHT is delighted to announce that we were awarded a Mark of Excellence for Best Membership Engagement at the Association Excellence Awards 2016.

Jennifer Wayte, President, and Karen Young, Editor and Communications Manager, attended the Association Excellence Awards 2016 in London on Friday 26 February, and were thrilled to receive this recognition from the judges for our commitment to you, our members.

The Association Excellence Awards specifically evaluate and measure the success and relevance of professional associations and membership organisations, ensuring that members are at the heart of everything we do. The Membership Engagement category assessed us and our fellow finalists on how we interact with members, the benefits that members receive from our communications and the professionalism we exhibit.

Jennifer Wayte, President, says “We were incredibly proud to be shortlisted alongside some very prestigious and well-respected professional associations. To be awarded a Mark of Excellence amongst such strong competition is a real honour, and we are delighted that the commitment of our staff in delivering good member communications has been recognised. We would also like to offer our congratulations to the category winner, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, and GS1 UK, the Management Consultancies Association the Law Society of Scotland, who were finalists. It was a tough category by all accounts!”

Our thanks to all those members who regularly engage with and support the FHT – without you, this achievement would not have been possible.
