Association management companies say they are seeing more inquiries from associations about providing services since the COVID-19 pandemic began, with many groups either seeking expertise in subjects where they lack experience or needing to outsource services previously provided by staff.
The pandemic has taken a toll on the economic models of many associations, and in some cases, they are turning to AMCs to fill in the holes left following layoffs. But AMC representatives say associations shouldn’t view their companies simply as a means to save money. Rather, those groups should take time to pin down what they want out of the partnership and be able to clearly communicate that.
