AIA is delighted to share that our Chief Executive, Philip Turnbull, has been recognised in the first-ever Membership World: Most Influential Membership Professionals 2025 list.
This new global index celebrates people making a real difference in the membership world. It highlights those who are inspiring change, strengthening communities, and giving their members more reasons to feel proud of the organisations they belong to.
Being included is a fantastic recognition of the work that’s gone into building AIA into a stronger, more connected global community. It reflects the progress we’ve made in creating new opportunities for our members, championing inclusion across the profession, and making sure AIA has a strong voice on the international stage.
Philip commented: "I’m honoured to be included in this list alongside so many inspiring leaders from across the membership sector. This recognition is really about the work we’ve done together at AIA to support our members around the world. Our focus has always been on building a professional community that is inclusive, forward-thinking and truly international, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved so far."
For our members, it’s a reminder that AIA is recognised far beyond accountancy. We are part of a wider conversation about how membership bodies can engage, innovate, and support their communities, and our Chief Executive is right at the heart of that.
We are incredibly proud of this recognition and excited about what it means for the future. As always, our focus remains our members, and continuing to provide the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed.
"This recognition is really about the work we’ve done together at AIA to support our members around the world."
