ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Executive Meeting Planning

Active and energetic Board members want to attend focused and productive Board meetings. The ability of the Association to tap into the energy of its leaders is important in order to achieve its goals and continue to attract new leaders. Our management experience can be leveraged to ensure that your leadership focuses on the goals of the Association and does not get distracted by daily operational detail.   We can arrange your meetings in a centralized location, by teleconferencing or through the Internet.

Convention Planning

Quality conventions don't just happen. Dynamic conferences, seminars and annual meetings require hours of planning and relentless attention to detail. These skills are the hallmark of our professionals. Site research, selection and contract negotiation are fundamental to any successful meeting. Meeting promotion, registration, evaluation and follow-up can determine if the meetings are a financial success or disaster . Back to Association Management

Centralized, Professional Administrative Support

Most Associations have to rely on "hands-on" Board members and volunteers in their early years. As Associations reach a critical mass of 500-1,000 members, the Leadership must shift their focus toward the goals and strategic objectives of its membership in order to maintain and increase its membership base. The introduction of professional managers at this phase is critical to the ongoing development of the Association. 

Attention to detail, professional and responsive communications, and consistent administrative procedures can make the difference. The continuity of having an account manager handle these functions will provide your Association with an effective mechanism for achieving your professional goals. . Our office is your office. We are your centralized communication hub. Using current technology applied through an account manager structure, our high-tech/high-touch approach to client services sets us apart.  Back to Association Management

Financial Management Expertise

Associations need to know that their financial affairs are being managed by experts. In this era, where many non-profit organizations are being scrutinized by the IRS, Board members must be comfortable that their Association is in full compliance. We provide complete financial management services ranging from the formation of the entity to the management of the daily operational matters of bill payment, collections and timely deposits. Detailed reporting is provided to the Board and adequate controls are always maintained. In addition, guidance on budgeting and professional cash management of investments rounds out our full service offering.  Back to Association Management

Membership Promotion & Retention

Growth of an organization is a key to success.  We obtain outside data bases and continually introduce the Association to the public and prospective new members.  We also create extensive historical data bases of the membership.  These are used to continually reintroduce past members to the Associations.  Data bases are also created to be responsive to the needs of the Association and their members.  Back to Association Management

Publications

Quality and informative publications to the Association can only occur when the editor needs to only be concerned with the content.  Through desktop publishing and distribution channels, editors can focus fully on the content of information while we do the rest. Through the production of Newsletters, Magazines, Brochures and  Annual Directories your members will always be up to date. Back to Association Management
