When Should an Association Consider Hiring an AMC?
As smaller to mid-sized associations that have been managing themselves through a cadre of volunteers, and/or part time or fulltime employees, review best practice management options, it is critical that the senior volunteer leaders review the option of hiring an association management company (AMC) to assist in the strategic development and administrative functional area management of the association. Associations that are managed by volunteer leaders and those that are small to medium sized stand-alone organizations should assess carefully the impact and value of the AMC option. (Details)
Why are AMC Institute Members different from the average AMC?
Membership Eligibility Requirements
Many associations see the AMC business model as the favored structure for their organization. In its membership eligibility requirements, AMC Institute takes the model further by adding best practices – ranging from management and accounting principles, financial standards, hiring practices and other requisites.
Code of Ethics
AMC Institute members live by a code of ethics – a code that provides guidance for conducting business that includes placing the interests of clients ahead of their own and assuring each association its own independence.
Accreditation
Some AMC Institute member AMCs earn accreditation. The AMC Institute Accreditation – based on standards from the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) – provides clients with an additional level of professionalism and performance.
"The information we gathered from your website was valuable and insightful in terms of providing us with a detailed list of crucial services that unless directly involved in day-to-day administrative activities can be taken for granted yet are so important to the administration of any organization.
Additionally, AMC Institute provided us with a reference to firms in California that had experience with organizations such as ours providing us with a very valuable and efficient way of reaching the right market."
