Maintain Your Strategic Focus

As an association, growth is always top of mind. Whether it’s attracting new members or fine-tuning positioning within the market, the key to moving forward is finding new and innovative ways to add value for members.

Partnering with an association management company (AMC) is an effective way to gain a fresh perspective from seasoned executives with years of association management experience.

Specifically, AMCs
can help associations:

  • Focus on quality and efficiency.
  • Maximize and monitor revenue.
  • Keep the ideas coming to do more with less.
  • Continuously communicate value.

AMCs perform regular environmental scans and help organizations plan for the future,
including surveying members as their needs change and identifying new growth opportunities.

Enhance Your Buying Power

Harnessing greater buying power, nearly 200 association management companies provide full-service management and outsourcing to more than 3,000 associations, serving 2.8 million members worldwide and representing $1.9 billion in association revenue.

AMCs can leverage extensive buying power for meeting planning, marketing, communications, creative services, and technology, as well as help associations:

  • Reduce service fees and purchase rates.
  • Improve the ability to obtain goods and services.
  • Boost negotiating power.
  • Realize savings that are passed along to their association clients.

Right-Size Your Staffing

To capitalize on time and energy, AMCs provide associations with the staffing expertise they need when they need it.

That means strategically evaluating the business model to determine if current staffing levels are appropriate for the needs of the association.

By evaluating performance vs. demand and employee maintenance vs. productivity, AMCs can help associations:

· Ensure the staffing situation is optimized for maximum efficiency.

· Free up executives to focus on strategic initiatives.

AMCs work as an extension of association staff, delivering high-quality services that align with and advance the overall mission. That means associations only pay for the services rendered, maximizing their value with the AMC's concentrated, professional expertise.

Reduce Your Overhead Costs

Overhead costs can put a small association under in this economy. To stay afloat, it's critical to develop a strategy to effectively manage these costs and, where possible, ensure day-to-day expenses are part of a larger investment in organizational growth.

Operating within a framework of shared resources, association management companies provide cost-effective solutions to staffing, equipment, facilities, and budget considerations.

By sharing overhead costs for professional services with other clients, AMCs can help associations:

  • Increase resources and capabilities.
  • Strengthen return on investment.

This gives associations the flexibility to reallocate resources to fulfill strategic initiatives and further advance the overall mission.
