Vetted Solutions x AMCI Research Series

What it is
AMC Institute and Vetted Solutions are researching when, why and how standalone associations turn to the AMC model. The work, led for Vetted Solutions by President & CEO Jim Zaniello, FASAE, supports AMCI’s 2050 goal: 50% of standalone associations in our target market managed by an AMC.

Why now?
CEO transitions are frequent. Business models that worked for decades are under pressure. Keeping up with technology and operations keeps getting more expensive. All of this makes AMCs a strong option for self-managed associations.
