An association management company (AMC) provides management and specialized administrative services to trade associations and professional societies using a for-profit approach that runs not-for-profit associations like businesses.
AMCs manage associations of varying sizes (from 10 members to 10,000 members) and annual budgets (from $50,000 to $16 million). The AMC model affords association clients the characteristics of economies of scale, experience in the association marketplace, flexibility and adaptability, buying power and centralized facilities.
