Photoluminescent Safety Association Selects REM Association Services
Arlington, VA, July 10, 2006 – The Board of Directors of the Photoluminescent Safety Association (PSA) has selected REM Association Services, an Arlington, VA, association management company (AMC), to provide management services. Robert E. McLean, CAE and REM's president, will serve as the association's executive director.
PSA is a new trade association whose members will include companies that manufacture and distribute safety-grade photoluminescent products. Such products can help improve the safety of buildings, as well as marine and aviation products. The group expects to begin operations with 29 member companies.
McLean received the Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) in 2002. CAE is an indication of demonstrated skill in association management. In 2005 he was named to ASAE's AMC Section Council, whose members are selected based on their experience and leadership as AMC executives.
AMCs are for-profit businesses that often serve as the client association's headquarters, and provide leadership, professional management and administrative services. AMCs in the United States manage budgets exceeding $2 billion collectively. The overhead costs for the professional offices are shared by other associations and societies that are the AMC's clients, increasing their resources and capabilities without major capital investment. Based on the concept of shared resources, an AMC provides volunteer organizations with the expertise they need, when they need it. The AMC assigns executives and administrators to conduct the association's day-to-day operations.
