What is the Index?

  • Member engagement and growth

    This index recognises professionals who are driving meaningful engagement and growing their member communities. Whether it’s through new initiatives, retention strategies, or inclusive programming, they’re elevating the membership experience.

  • Thought leadership and education

    Teams will collaborate, research, and structure their strategies in a hands-on working session. Mentors and industry experts will be available to provide guidance and feedback.

  • Advocacy, innovation, and inclusion

    We’re celebrating those who champion diversity, equity, and innovation within their organisations and beyond. These professionals are using their voice to push boundaries and represent underheard perspectives in the industry.

  • Consistent influence on LinkedIn and beyond

    Social presence matters — the Index honours professionals who are active, visible, and influential across platforms, especially LinkedIn. Their content drives awareness, inspires action, and connects communities globally.
