Conducted by Valmont Research, the key findings of this study include: The AMC business model offers stability—associations have been clients of AMCs, on average, for nearly 13 years, and 21% of associations have been clients for 20 years or longer. Large associations are more likely to stay with an AMC for the long haul. The average tenure of associations with $3M+ in gross operating revenue was 22.3 years, about twice as long for associations with revenue of less than $3M. The model offers growth in revenue and income—under AMC management, client associations saw average annualized growth of 7.8% for gross operating revenue and 11.6% for net operating income.
