About the Author: Omer Soker is an association futurist and strategist. Omer has a track record of delivering transformational success for both associations and corporates, and is the author and founder of The Future of Associations as a 6-step roadmap to progress, change and influence. As a professional speaker and consultant, Omer energises association boards and executives with strategies for effective and sustainable growth. He ignites positive behavioural change with staff training workshops and inspires conference audiences with thought-provoking insights. Omer helps associations tackle disruption and change, refine mission and vision objectives, modernise board and governance structures, accelerate external strategy and influence, increase income diversity, engage and grow membership, align internal resources and culture, and develop a sustainable future focus. Most recently as CEO, he led an industry association to influence government to overturn a decision in favour of members, negotiate and resolve a member action group's concerns, win a major commercial battle against a global competitor, broaden the membership to position for growth, launch an online resource to link members with buyers, start an industry knowledge-bank to spread best practice, implement a strategic acquisition to diversify the association, and help the president to reform the constitution and modernise the board structure. Omer has also held senior management roles at global multinational corporations, and transformed two companies with change management remits, growing them by 136% and 30% respectively within two years. Born in Turkey and raised in England, Omer worked in Hong Kong before moving to Sydney. He enjoys cycling, meditation and walking along Sydney's beautiful inner city bays with his wife, Siobhan Jordan.
