Get the people and processes you need to focus on your mission.
Working out what you have and what you need.
A staffing solution to help you meet your association’s goals.
The people and processes you need to get there.
That’s completely up to you. Generally, we white label everything, so only your key volunteers may know. We’ll adopt your branding and appear to your members as champions of your organization’s missions. However, if your leadership prefers a clear distinction between us and you, we can do that too. Most of our clients prefer our services to be white labeled. Unlike our competitors, there’s no additional cost for this service.
We can complement your staff by coming alongside them to work on projects, provide consulting services, or take care of some of the routine or monotonous work.
Our global team is composed of talented individuals with experience that spans all specialties and industries. Many of our team members bring valuable experience from previous work with associations while others have for-profit sector knowledge. We also have specialists who can help associations with specific services, like strategic planning and consulting, meeting and event management, membership management, marketing, or continuing education. Some of our staff have industry specific certifications such as Certified Association Executive (CAE), which demonstrates their ethical and career commitment to their work in association management.
When it comes to hiring in-house, it can be difficult to find specialists your organization needs to handle day-to-day operations as well as special projects that lead to the accomplishment of the strategic plan. New hires will typically have a specialty and won’t be able to fill multiple roles within your association, which can add up in the long run for payroll expenses (not to mention the additional overhead of supplies, taxes, etc.). With an AMC, you have access to any kind of association expert you need, even if we need to source that specialist for you. Avlo Solutions takes the headache out of staffing as we supplement your team with our experts, all in one place. Partnering with an AMC helps you reduce your overhead and streamline your operations, so that your team can focus on achieving your long-term vision.
Partnering with an association management company typically includes three stages: the proposal and mutual interview, the transition, and the day-to-day management. As you move through these stages, your team and Avlo can work together to find the workflows, processes, and team arrangements that work best for you and your goals as they ebb and flow.
