FHT, the UK’s leading professional association for complementary, holistic beauty and sports therapists, is delighted to announce receiving a Mark of Excellence for Best Membership Engagement at the Association Excellence Awards 2016.

Jennifer Wayte, President, Karen Young, Editor and Communications Manager and Jade Dannheimer, Online Manager, attended the Association Excellence Awards 2016 in February, and were thrilled to receive this recognition from the judges, for FHT’s commitment to members.

The Association Excellence Awards specifically evaluate and measure the success and relevance of professional associations, ensuring that members are at the heart of everything they do. The Membership Engagement category assessed FHT and its fellow finalists on how they interact with members, the benefits that members receive from their communications and their overall professionalism.

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!’

The FHT paid special thanks to its members who regularly engage with and support the association, without who this achievement would not have been possible.
