An Association Management Company

The Advantages Of Hiring An Association Management Company (AMC)

BEST offers a variety of unique solutions tailored to meet your organization’s specific needs. We provide assistance to busy volunteers and provide operating efficiencies. In addition to traditional association management services, we work well with existing staff to provide a blended model with project management and individual offerings.

The American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) summarizes the advantages of hiring an AMC perfectly: “An association management company typically manages [multiple] associations from one company location, providing a wide range of benefits, including shared technology systems, access to expert specialized staff, and shared purchasing power.”

An AMC also saves time and money when compared to a staffing model. Hiring staff automatically imposes overhead costs and exposes the organization to additional liabilities and risks.

Testimonials

Steven Booth

I have worked with Anne Fuller and her team at Best Association Management for several years. First as a member of the board of the Central Arkansas Executives Association. She was always very organized and well prepared for the board meetings. After serving on the board for a few years I became the president of the organization. This required that I work even more with Anne and her team. She has people on her staff that are very knowledgeable in their respective field. This included layout and design of various documents that we needed and event planning. We have several events throughout the year, with the biggest being our Presidents retreat, that event is a multi-day trip out of town and involves sometime 40 people. I met with her team and explained what I wanted to do and they took care of every detail of the event. If I ever needed Anne to do something for me I knew that I could send her an e-mail and forget about it. Because I knew that Anne would take care of whatever it was that I needed her to do.

Our association, the Arkansas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ArkSHA), has been managed by Best Association Management since 2010 (update-until 2023). We have a full service contract with Best, but do retain a separate lobby firm. Our association members have had very positive experiences with Best Management and find their staff easy to work with and always professional. From coordinating information exchange via phone, email and publications to assistance with large statewide conference and event planning, Best Management has consistently provided top-notch services. They provide stability for ArkSHA. We are assigned a dedicated staff member who serves as our Executive Director and we also benefit from access to other staff members who work at the direction of our Executive Director. Our association also uses Best Management's board room for our meetings.
