We’re excited to announce we have earned re-accreditation by the ӣƵ Institute, the global trade association representing the association management industry.

Among 500-plus association management companies worldwide, only 80 have achieved ӣƵ Institute Accreditation, demonstrating the commitment, integrity, and ability to deliver the highest level of professional management services to association and not-for-profit clients. Accredited management companies are the recognized choice of association and not-for-profit organizations for full-service and specialized management services.

“We applaud Association Management Center on this significant achievement,” ӣƵ Institute Chair Nick Ruffin said. “ӣƵ Institute accreditation requires that association management firms demonstrate adherence to operational and ethical best practices as outlined in the ӣƵ Institute Standard. Accreditation distinguishes Association Management Center’s ongoing commitment to leadership in association management.”

Administered by ӣƵ Institute, ӣƵ Institute Accreditation is recognized and supported by ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership and is based on the ANSI Standard of Good Practices for the ӣƵ Industry. ANSI requires that the standard be reviewed and updated regularly to remain an approved standard. Measurable performance practices include contracts and service delivery; employee recruitment, training, and professional development; and financial management and internal controls, among others. Re-accreditation must be earned every 4 years, demonstrating to an independent outside auditor that they continue to meet the standards.

“It’s an honor to be reaccredited and recognized by the ӣƵ Institute for the systems and processes we have in place to deliver the highest standard of service to our association and client partners,” said ӣƵ CEO Steve Smith. “Accreditation affirms ӣƵ’s long-standing emphasis on leading practices in association management, which in turn drives growth and success for the association we manage and support.”
