Our Story

Association Management Services

Turners Secretariat provides a full-house management service to Professional Associations and Societies thereby enhancing the entity’s operations to its members.

Turners Secretariat was established in 2004 as part of Turners Conferences to offer secretariat support for conference clients.

As the number of clients increased, we established a separate division, Turners Secretariat.

The wealth of knowledge and experience of our personnel, of the products and this industry, and their dedication to the client enhances our service offering.

Whether you choose the full turn-key service or opt for a modular service you are assured of the same quality of service and dedication to providing a professional solution.

Turners Secretariat is a Level 4 BBBEE Contributor.

SASREG - Turners Secretariat has been working for SASREG for many years and have been assisting us with secretarial services and event organisation. They have been pivotal in the running of our society and have been supporting us in the management of our communication, membership fees, database maintenance and financial management. The service is excellent and it is always a pleasure working with Turners Secretariat.

OSSA - The Ophthalmological Society of South Africa has been utilising the services of Turners Secretariat since 2018. We have always found the services to be highly professional and supportive of our business goals. I can recommend the company to anyone seeking such services.

SAAFoST - Turners Secretariat has been looking after the administration of SAAFoST with professionalism and consistently high standards since 1993. Through their expertise and relationships, our members’ administrative needs, travel and meeting requirements, database and website management, and bi-annual congresses are well looked after.

Mr James McLeanPast President

ILSI - ILSI South Africa has contracted the Turners Secretariat division since March 2011 and can attest to the fact that the service offered is very well-received. A most important and appreciated feature of this service is the desire to continuously improve; thus, any challenges presented are swiftly and successfully dealt with, exhibiting a solutions-oriented approach to conducting business.

Dr Lucia AnelichPast President

SANEA - Notable feature of Turners’ approach is their willingness to listen to our requests and respond to them in positive ways. They also make sure they understand what the final objective is, and are happy to suggest alternatives that may be able to achieve the same goal more effectively and efficiently. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Turners Secretariat and Turners Conferences in the role of Secretariat and as an event organiser.
