An AMC Institute Accredited association management company has invested significant time and money to meet or exceed the requirements of the only American National Standard for Association Management Companies. Your organization can be assured that when you see the AMC Institute Accreditation mark, the AMC has met the ANSI/AMC Institute Standard for Service, Quality, and Excellence. To association leaders, this means that, among other things:

• Checks and balances are in place to help ensure your association’s money is properly handled.
• The AMC has processes in place that enable it to perform association management functions and deliver quality services.
• The AMC has established and implemented a training program for its employees to ensure that the delivery of services meets standards set by the AMC.
• Comprehensive and appropriate insurance is maintained by the AMC.
• Association Management Companies achieving this mark demonstrate a high level of professionalism and responsibility

ASAE's Association Management Company Accreditation Program assists the association community by identifying the standards and criteria that are indicative of quality management service providers. This program recognizes AMCs that meet and adhere to these standards. The program:

• identifies the practices that are adopted by outstanding AMCs,
• assesses the procedures and practices of individual AMCs,
• formally recognizes those AMCs that meet the requirements set forth by the ASAE AMC Accreditation Commission,
• improves the quality and effectiveness of services provided to the association community, and
• encourages quality service to associations by AMCs.
