About

Hello my name is Gordon Glenister and I am the founder of Membership World. I am a passionate advocate of the association and membership world community. The purpose of this site is to bring together industry professionals through the Membership World Podcast but also to provide a resource for research and valuable content. On the podcast series you will hear me talking about industry issues and challenges from Covid-19 to innovative ways in which CEOs and other thought leaders are seeking new ways of working. I also host regular monthly roundtable events talking about all sorts of issues affecting the sector.

I am a former director general of an industry trade association of 11 years and regularly speak at international association and membership events and in that time developed online education programmes, magazines, exhibitions and conferences as well as growing the membership. I am also the founder of the Branded Content Marketing Association, Influence division, a body to support content creators and influencer platforms and also a co-founder of MESA, the meetings and events support association.
