The AMC Advantage
Association Management Companies (AMCs) specialize in managing trade associations, professional societies and nonprofit organizations, providing leadership and professional management services through experienced staff, proven practices and shared resources.
AMCs can serve as an organization's headquarters, managing day-to-day operations and providing staff members who are experts in management operational functions. For nonprofit organizations that have a staff in place, AMCs provide a range of consulting services from strategic planning and membership development to communications and advocacy.
AMCs are the source of information and expertise to nonprofit organizations.
The AMC Advantage

- AMCs remove all the HR concerns for association boards.
- AMCs maintain a strategic focus
- AMCs assess staffing needs
- Enhance your buying power
- Reduce overhead costs
Benefits to Volunteer Leaders
The role of a volunteer leader is, primarily, to provide counsel and direction to ensure the success of your nonprofit. Today, many volunteer boards look to AMCs to offer management or specialized services.
And here's why. Choosing an AMC to manage your nonprofit:
- Allows volunteer leaders to concentrate on program and policy — advancing the organization's mission — rather than administrative tasks
- Provides an affordable, high degree of professionalism, management expertise and technology through shared resources
- Customizes staff activity to meet association needs
- Maintains continuity of business operations during changes in leadership and staff
- Provides cost-effective alternatives to association personnel, equipment, facilities, and other resource considerations
