What is an association management company?

An association management company is a company that manages a variety of organizations under one roof. The office becomes the home office of the organization. The equipment is shared between all organizations managed. Lastly, the staff works with each organization managed, on an individualized basis.

There are many benefits to using a management company. First, an organization can save quite a bit of money by not having to pay rent for office space, phone lines and equipment. Secondly, the cost of staffing an organization can become very expensive. With a management company, the costs of all of the above are shared between many organizations, thus lessening the financial burden. Lastly, the organization has the benefit of working with experienced, talented staff who can immediately start running the organization without any additional training or education.

The goal of an association management company is to have members of an organization feel like they are the only client. Most association management companies assign an Executive Director to oversee the organization and have various other staff members working with membership, marketing and other services. Association management companies understand that the pulse of the organization is its membership. Members of any organization are treated as if they were the only organization being managed. Great Western Association Management, Inc. ensures that this happens by making sure all staff is knowledgeable about every organization managed.
 

An association management company can manage any size organization, providing they have adequate staff and resources. Most association management companies will not take on additional business unless they know it can be handled. In this business, reputation for providing exemplary service is of great importance. If necessary, a management company will hire additional staff.
