Indianapolis, IN — Synergos AMC, a leading association management company with roots dating back to 1996, today announced that it has acquired Management Excellence Inc. (MEI), a respected provider of management services to professional societies and trade associations. The acquisition strengthens Synergos AMC’s national and international footprint and enhances its ability to deliver comprehensive administrative, strategic, and operational support to membership-based organizations.

Founded on the vision of ‘providing hope and fueling aspirations’, Synergos AMC has grown steadily over nearly three decades by providing tailored services to nonprofit associations, including strategic planning, communications, accounting, member management, event management, and more. With staff across more than seven states and headquarters in Indianapolis, Synergos AMC has built a reputation for understanding how associations operate and what they need to succeed.

Management Excellence Inc., based in Dayton, Ohio, brings a strong track record of helping membership organizations effectively manage limited resources, implement leadership-approved strategies, and stay innovative in a rapidly evolving environment. MEI has long served professional societies and trade associations that value its deep
experience and hands-on approach to organizational management.

Strategic Alignment and Expanded Capabilities
The acquisition aligns the strengths of both organizations, combining Synergos AMC’s broad service portfolio and
multi-state infrastructure with MEI’s specialized expertise in resource management, strategic execution, and client-centered support. Together, the combined entity will offer an expanded suite of services designed to help associations thrive in a complex and competitive landscape.

Synergos AMC Owners Robert Riggs, CAE and Lane Velayo, CAE stated: “We’re excited to begin a partnership with MEI’s great team and partners. MEI has a long history of excellence in many areas of association management and as we have gotten to meet the partners and spend time with the staff team – we know there are a lot of synergies that
will enhance services for all of our partners. We thank Fran for placing her trust in us and our company as we move
forward.”

Fran Rickenbach, Founder of Management Excellence, Inc stated: “After more than four decades of providing management services to membership organizations, MEI chose to transition our legacy to Synergos AMC because of their unwavering commitment to our staff and our shared organizational values. This partnership ensures that our valued, long-term clients will continue to be served by the same talented team they know and trust, under a leadership that honors the standards MEI has upheld for over four decades. By joining forces, MEI is also providing our client organizations with enhanced resources and specialized expertise to further fuel their strategic growth and long-term success.”
