Every association or small companies have two primary management choices: it can self-manage [stand-alone], or it can outsource to a management team with experience.

Self managed - Rent office space and pay for utilities; purchase all technology and equipment; hire employees and monitor performance; keep member data and records; send out correspondence ~ subscriptions ~ invoices; and oversee, plan and manage events, seminars and workshops.

Outsourced Association Management - Manage day-to-day administration from a remote location or association office; manage operations and financial resources; negotiate venue contracts; coordinate meeting and venue logistics; attend board meetings and record minutes; maintain member data records, correspondence, applications, renewals, and member benefits.

Members receive superior association management services and are well informed, while board members are free to focus on decision-making and strategic issues. Committee members are able to focus on strategic planning, membership growth, and critical decision-making while we take care of day-to-day operations and general administrative duties. At the end of the day, ALA CARTE association management services save your association or company time and money.
