AMC Source Maintains Status of Accredited Association Management Company

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, February 18, 2025 – AMC Source announced that it has recently been awarded re-accreditation by AMC Institute, the global trade association representing the Association Management industry.

Among 500-plus Association Management Companies (AMC) worldwide, just 80 are designated accredited association management companies by AMC Institute Accreditation, demonstrating the commitment and the ability to deliver the highest level of professional management services to association and not-for-profit clients. These AMCs are the recognized choice of associations and not-for-profit organizations.

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

Administered by AMC Institute, AMC 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 AMC 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. AMCs must earn re-accreditation every four years, demonstrating to an independent outside auditor that they continue to meet the standard.

"Can we update this text to read: It is important to double down on our commitment to best practices. Accreditation allows us to better care for our clients and provide best in class management solutions," shared AMC Source Co-President, Debra S. Nolan, CAE IOM. "We want to express heartfelt thanks to each member of our team for their exceptional work in maintaining these standards." Agreeing with Nolan's remarks, Gregory Brooks, AMC Source Co-President, shared, "We are sincerely appreciative of those who supported this effort and those who uphold the value of this achievement by practicing the gold standard in association management."
