ASFP shortlisted for trio of Memcom Excellence Awards

The Memcom Excellence Awards aim to highlight successful membership organisations, recognising the creativity and hard work which goes into driving up standards in the membership sector.

ASFPTV, the ASFP’s YouTube channel, has been shortlisted for the Best Social Media Presence – Less Than 50K Award. The channel’s depth, breadth of programming, reach and ability to inform has improved the ASFP’s member engagement ten-fold and made content much more accessible.

ASFPTV offers five series: ASFPTV informs viewers of the ASFP activities. ASFP Live brings news from events such as trade shows and seminars. Sparking Interest offers discussion of issues not directly linked to the passive fire sector. Meet the Member provides the ASFP’s membership with a platform to reach out to a wider audience with details of their products and services and Getting Technical investigates technical and regulatory challenges affecting the passive fire sector.

Introduction to Passive Fire Protection

Further, the ASFP’s revised Online Introduction to Passive Fire Protection has been shortlisted for the Best E-Learning/Online Education Initiative. The new version of the course, itself developed in 2022, is broken down into a series of small and easy-to-digest modules of between seven and 15 minutes in length, each discussing a specific type of passive fire protection.

On successful completion of an assessment at the end of the course, learners are awarded a ‘Certificate of Completion’ and three hours’ worth of certified Continuing Professional Development points.

Issues and challenges

In addition, the Association’s membership magazine, entitled ‘Ignite’, has been nominated in the Best Magazine (Circulation Less Than 20K) category. Launched in November 2021, ‘Ignite’ keeps members and key stakeholders informed of the issues and challenges facing the passive fire sector, keeps members and non-members up-to-date with ASFP activities and also serves to highlight member products and services.

The ’Ignite’ magazine is available free in print and online, with all production costs covered by advertising sales.  

The 2023 Memcom Excellence Awards winners will be announced at a gala dinner and ceremony to be held at the Hilton London Bankside Hotel on 26 September.
