Every organization must evaluate its goals and objectives in light of its resources, and then select the management framework that works best. Based on the concept of shared resources, AMCs provide volunteer organizations with the full complement of capabilities it needs, when it needs them.
AMC is the acronym for association management company, which is an organization whose primary purpose is to provide management services for volunteer organizations. Whether it is full management, or a la carte services, AMCs are staffed with professionals who are there to handle the staffing needs of an organization.
- An AMC is a hired independent contractor; therefore, the organization is freed of employment responsibility and liability.
- Maintaining office space may not be cost effective or time efficient. AMCs take the responsibility of office space rental, insurance, and maintenance of your organization.
- AMCs are there for your organization year after year, so they are able to provide continuity, expertise, and experience.
- AMCs provide "buying power." With multiple clients, AMCs have more negotiating power with hotels, printing companies, suppliers, and other vendors. This savings is then passed on to your organization.
- By delegating the day-to-day operations to an AMC, your organization’s leaders are then free to focus on the mission, rather than the administration.
