“We have been able to better direct our board with the hiring of this wonderful management group. We are able to delegate tedious tasks and redirect our attention to the important matters. In that respect, we are well ahead of many other boards that are far larger and wealthier than ours. The staff is personable and wants the volunteers to succeed in all that they do, and are with us every step of the way.”
Pam Farr, Past President, West Virginia Association of Nurse Anesthetists

What is Association Management?
If you’re involved in the day-to-day running of an organization that thrives on membership engagement, whether it’s a professional society, nonprofit, or trade association, association management is a critical part of your success.
It includes everything from board governance and membership support to event planning, financial oversight, and strategic planning. Yet, leaders often find themselves too stretched to give this essential work the consistent attention it needs.
That’s where AOM can help.
