Frequently Asked Questions
What is an association management company (AMC)?
An association management company is a service provider that helps trade and professional associations streamline everyday operations and develop strategies to ensure stability and growth. Working with an AMC enables your organization to access specialized expertise and resources that are hard to find elsewhere.
Is it more cost-effective to hire an AMC or manage our association in-house?
When you factor in the high level of expertise offered by association management companies, it’s often more cost-effective to partner with an AMC than it is to try hiring individuals to complete all of the tasks you need completed. For example, Kellen’s global team is comprised of top association management professionals with specialized expertise in disciplines like event planning, digital marketing, accounting, strategic communications, public affairs, and policy advocacy.
