WHY AMAS?

Why would an association turn to AMAS, an association management company?

Association boards of directors typically hire an association management company as an alternative to taking on the responsibility, as volunteers, of hiring an executive director and entrusting that individual to recruit and hire staff, make investments in technology, provide office space and other infrastructure, and manage the operations of the organization while also fulfilling the strategic aspects of an executive role. AMAS can deliver cost-effective professional management that provides boards and organizations with flexibility, access to specialized staff, and the human and financial resources of a larger company. By relying on AMAS, an association management company, board members have the time and energy to focus on what's important to them: furthering the goals of their association and having a real impact on the real estate industry, their profession.

Your Association would not have the burden of employing any personnel, maintaining payroll, filing appropriate taxes, completing W-2's, following appropriate labor laws, hiring, firing, etc. This task would shift completely over to AMAS. AMAS would take complete responsibility of providing sufficient staffing services to maintain the level of service desired by your Association for member services and to manage the events and activities taking place in your area.
