About the Event: FIA Code Consultation Forum

Have your say on the future of the FIA Code, and its impact upon charitable giving.

Following the release of the Code exposure draft, we are holding a free consultation forum to gain your feedback and suggestions about how we can make self-regulation work better.

This is a great opportunity to have your say about the new Code and to network over drinks with friends and colleagues who share your interest in best practice fundraising.

Free for all attendees. These short forums include a short presentation, a questions and answers session and will be followed by drinks, giving you a chance to network.

In his role at FIA, Rob is charged with leading organisational change to ensure that the Institute continues to meet the needs of members and provides leadership in respect to professional development and advocacy, especially in this time of a new regulatory regime being introduced.

Prior to taking the role at FIA he spent 18 years as CEO of ADMA.  During that period he presided over growth of the Association from a minor niche player in the marketing sector to become the largest marketing industry association of its kind in Australia.

Much of his work in that period encompassed working with all levels of Government on complex and sometimes controversial public policy issues such as Privacy and Data Protection, Anti-Spam legislation, Children’s Online Privacy and On Line Behavioural Advertising.

Rob’s work has been recognised internationally by being elected Chair for a four year term of the International Federation of Direct Marketing Associations and his frequent overseas speaking engagements include sessions at the United Nations Telecommunication Union in Geneva.
