By utilizing an AMC, an association is provided a centralized office that serves as an association's headquarters for its clients. The overhead costs for the office are shared by several associations. In this way, associations are able to enjoy a large pool of resources as well as the latest in advanced technology and equipment without significant capital investment.
"According to a 2009 study by LoBue and Majdalany Association Management Group, nonprofits managed by Association Management Companies, or AMCs, generate greater operating surpluses, are more efficient, involve lower operating risks, enjoy more diverse revenue profiles, spend more on meetings, trade shows and educational activities, and pay, on average, a third less for the staffing, occupancy and capital costs than sibling standalone organizations. So, has your nonprofit considered being managed by a highly qualified AMC? It should!"
