External Membership Services
The RSB is able to offer a cost-effective way for professional membership organisations to enhance and streamline their membership offering and free up staff and committees to focus on strategic development work.
We have more than 80 Member Organisations, so bioscience organisations are also able to take advantage of our overview and experience of the biosciences sector. Current organisations include the Anatomical Society, British Lichen Society, British Society for Genetic Medicine, British Society for Neuroendocrinology, British Society of Toxicological Pathology, Fisheries Society of the British Isles, Genetics Society, International Society for Affective Disorders, International Society for Applied Ethology, and Laboratory Animal Science Association.
Our services include managing day-to-day administration of:
- Committees
- Finance (including Direct Debit, credit card payments, Gift Aid)
- Grants
- Membership
- CPD
- Events
- Competitions
- Website
- Carrying out membership recruitment campaigns
Our membership support is underpinned by a members' portal – myRSB. This is a user-friendly website which allows the organisation's members to manage their individual record – from applying for membership, renewing, changing their journal and newsletter subscriptions, updating their address details, booking events – and other areas. This immediately updates the main database with any changes. Members would be taken to the portal from your existing website via a seamless link.
The RSB is also flexible in discussing your needs as an organisation and the various ways we can assist.
Why should we outsource our administration to the RSB?
The RSB has a dedicated team fully capable of taking on administration for a variety of different membership organisations, which ultimately frees up valuable time for your organisation while ensuring that your members receive excellent customer service.
How much does it cost?
In an initial conversation, we will be able to give an assessment of your needs, with a full quote to follow.
How long does the process take to transfer services to RSB?
This will depend largely on the scale of the work, but also other factors such as how data is currently being held.
Who will we deal with day-to-day?
You will be allocated an individual account manager, who you will be able to liaise with for any day-to-day queries. You will also be able to contact any member of the team.
How will our membership data be used and stored?
Your organisation's membership data will be securely stored on a separate database, accessible by key staff at RSB as well as staff and committees within your organisation.
