We’ve been where you are—aligning everyone and everything to work toward the same goal. We’ve done it ourselves, launching a global association from a mere concept to a now 30-plus-year-old concrete reality. It’s the universe we navigate daily as a turnkey association management provider.

By offering an array of services from full management to à la carte options powered by executive-level resources, we have the technical prowess and stellar know-how to elevate your organization and board to make an impact for your membership.

How We Make An Impact

Step 1

Customized Proposal

The process begins once you submit an RFP or contact us for a consultation. Our team will discuss your goals and needs to craft a tailored proposal. Together, we’ll fine-tune the strategy to include the services and resources you need to achieve your objectives and elevate your association. We’ll act as your day-to-day operations, allowing your Board to focus on strategic direction and future growth.

Step 2

Transition Kickoff

Once the scope of services is set, you’ll be introduced to a dedicated client director with a tailored plan for transitioning you to CMA as your new AMC partner. Either way, we ensure compliance with the strictest AMCI standards and a smooth transition for you.

Step 3

Navigating Growth

After the transition, daily operations commence with a dedicated team, including your new executive director and their specialized staff. We maintain frequent communication via email, phone and video calls and regularly update you on finances, memberships and events, always tailoring our services to your needs and resources.

Step 4

Strategic Partnership

At CMA, we believe in the power of strategic partnerships. Our collaborative approach ensures success by understanding your organization, seizing growth opportunities and executing with expertise. We won’t just manage your association—we’ll understand it inside and out, nurture its growth and strategize for its future.
