What is a Association Management Company - Who is Clemons and Associates ? Sounds Like an Illusion, a Made up Industry.. like well.. HOGWASH maybe ?
"Traditionally, associations have hired their own executive directors and staff, secured their own facilities, and managed their own assets. The trend today, however, is for trade and professional associations to engage an association management company (AMC). This trend reflects the growing need to cut costs, promote efficiency, share resources, and access expertise.
A 1995 study commissioned by the Association Management Company Education Foundation and the International Association of Association Management Companies took a close look at how elected leaders select and evaluate management.
When researchers assessed AMCs versus other management forms, they found that AMCs, in most instances, provided the greatest value to their client associations. In fact, AMCs were rated as equal to or superior to other management forms on more than 89 percent of the survey criteria. (Surveys were sent to the elected leaders of 1,962 associations; 440 leaders completed and returned the surveys. The study, Re-Assessing Effective Association Management: 1995 Survey of Elected Leaders, was conducted by Sumaria I. Mohan-Neill, Ph.D., and Alan G. Krabbenhoft, Ph.D., both of the Walter E. Heller College of Business Administration, Roosevelt University, Chicago.)
Although selecting a management company that is right for your association may seem overwhelming, it does not need to be an onerous task.
This document was developed to assist you in that process, particularly in regard to soliciting potential AMCs, evaluating management proposals, conducting interviews with firms, selecting the firm that's best for your organization, developing the contractual arrangement, and transitioning the activities of your association to its
new management. "
