The Society of Biology was shortlisted in the Main Membership Website category of the MemCom Awards and yesterday were recognised with a Highly Commended prize.

MemCom is a resource for membership bodies, charities and non-for-profit organisations. Following on from the MemCom Conference, the Awards celebrate excellence in membership marketing and communication.

This years' Conference theme was 'Membership Commercials - Making money to do good things'. Jon Kudlick, director of membership, marketing and communications at the Society spoke about the challenges of growing a small professional organisation.

We are proud of this accolade and judges' comments: "What stood out was the functionality on the home page offering the user tailored content. On click through, the content was indeed tailored so expectations were matched."

We will continue to review and develop our website to enhance user experience.
