As mentioned in the last Bulletin (26 June), the ABRI Executivie Commitee is refreshing ABRI’s strategic priorities to ensure priorities and activities meet the needs of members. This is your opportunity to inform ABRI’s priorities and provide feedback on your member experience - say as much or as little as you like, anonymous or not, all questions optional. The survey is mainly open ended and asks:
Why did you become an ABRI member?
What do you consider are the key priorities for ABRI over the next 5 years?
How do you currently rate the effectiveness of ABRI in advancing those priorities? Rate 1 (low) to 5 (high)
What is your reason for the above score?
Your feedback will inform the ABRI Executive Committee strategy development sessions on 26 and 27 June. A presentation on the strategic approach will be provided at the 2025 Summit.
