How AMC's Work
Association Management Companies (AMCs) are commercial companies that specialise in providing services to membership organisations. The concept of outsourcing association management is well proven, particularly in the United States. In the UK there are growing numbers of membership organisations opting to use AMCs. Some reasons for this are;
AMCs provide the office facilities and personnel – leaving the volunteer committee and board members to concentrate on moving the organisation forward.
AMCs have a pool of in house expertise and contacts – which stand-alone organisations find it costly to match.
AMCs often work to fixed fee contracts – reducing the scope for nasty surprises on costs.
AMCs can use their experience of running other organisations for your benefit – limiting the learning curve.
AMCs have economies of scale – passing on cost savings to their clients.
AMCs can offer flexible staffing options allowing organisations to use them on a needs basis - with no costly “down time” when activity levels are low.
AMCs can offer smaller organisations a higher profile with “a full time office at a part time price”.
AMCs not only have experienced staff but they work to established professional standards.
