While you focus on preparing the agenda items, we’ll book the venue, circulate pre-meeting packs, report on administrative and logistical matters and take the minutes.

We can also organise your AGM and assist with compilation of your annual report.  In summary, your key contact will work as a proactive member of your team.
We also recognise that many national, international and global associations struggle to find time to meet in one location. EBS clients can access Webex and Teleconference facilities to make keeping in touch easy and cost effective.

We work closely with clients and universities across the country to accredit degree programmes and have a wealth of experience in personal and departmental accreditation programmes.

Information technology is a crucial and effective way to communicate with both association and commitee members. By maintaining a high level of internet presence EBS can ensure maximum exposure for a minimum cost.

We offer our association clients a variety of web-based solutions including:

At the head of every successful association is a leader, someone who inspires, motivates and empowers.

It is well documented that associations who invest in leadership development experience dramatically improved performance.

Typically associations don’t need managers, they need leaders.

An association is not some mysterious arrangement of bricks, mortar, metal, gadgets or computers but instead it is the heart, attitude and potential of its members . You manage processes, procedures and resources…….you lead people.

It takes leadership to tap into the hearts, attitudes and potential of its members. Whatever the size of your association the performance of its people affects its success. Talented, effective well trained leaders are an association’s greatest asset.

We offer a range of leadership programmes to suit individual needs.

From 1 day impact workshops, productivity and management courses to top level motivational & strategic leadership programmes we can offer a solution to your Associations specific needs. Our programmes combine multi sensory and spaced repetition learning techniques over time to maximise the effectiveness, improve results and provide a unique development experience.

Executive Business Support organises the distribution of mailings for its fully managed clients, which are designed individually around the clients needs.

This service is not available on a stand alone basis.

To ensure a presence within the healthcare industry marketing is vitally important.

Our client associates can help you with all elements of design whether you are looking at rebranding, direct marketing and e-communications or simply want to change the front cover on your Association Journal.

Recruitment and retention of members is key to the survival of associations.

We recognise that routine membership administration and subscription processing is fundamental to effective association activity and to how an association is perceived by its members and regular contacts.

EBS can provide a full membership service including:

• Database management and response handling
• New member targeting and engagement
• Design and implementation of new membership services
• Member satisfaction surveys

In addition to traditional public relations services, EBS, through its strategic partners, also provides communications consultancy and lobbying services.

This solution for clients focuses upon the entire spectrum of media relations, from newsletters to advising clients how best to identify, approach and influence the key decision-makers of Westminster, Whitehall, Brussels, and local Government.  Whichever solution is required, the common denominator will be the successful management of the client’s reputation.

Many Association leaders are still fully involved in their ‘day job’ and find it difficult to focus on operational issues at a more strategic level.

All organisations must plan for the future.  EBS will work alongside to help you achieve long term success, stability and growth in a cost effective manner.
