Date Issued:
1973
Summary:
Very little has been written about multiple association management companies and how they serve voluntary membership organizations. A direct mail questionnaire was used to ascertain organization structure, size and income, services provided, and management method. A second questionnaire was sent to every identifiable multiple association management firm to determine experience of the firm and its principals, structure and income of voluntary organizations managed by these firms, whether or not these firms experienced an increase in the number of voluntary organizations managed and in the size of the firm, services they provide to voluntary organizations, and how their client voluntary organizations were previously managed. Secondary research consisted primarily of material published in association trade journals. Multiple association management firms were found to be increasing both in size and number, and more voluntary organizations appear to be selecting this form of management; the primary reasons for this selection are professionalism and cost.
