Strong association leadership helps sustain an organization and keeps it competitive while ensuring they have the resources needed to meet their goals. AEG brings vision and innovation into an organization to create membership demand through program development and value-added resources. Our certified association executives have served in senior management roles and steered organizations in their quest for success for over three decades.

While reaching beyond the typical methodologies in our leadership management approach to bring forward-thinking to organizational efficiencies, program development growth and member value, we work to maintain efficiency and productivity within the day-to-day operations.

Our primary mission is serving clients, therefore we strive to create and maintain a strong working rapport with each organization and their members. Review a few client success stories that highlight how we developed programs that supported not only the organization, but also the individual member value.

Service Excellence

Member service can make or break membership performance and long-term sustainability. At AEG, we care about the details like answering dedicated phone lines, providing on-the-spot service, being highly responsive to Board needs and simply following through with what we promise.

Client Success Story: One of our clients has 1,100 current members, and we worked to increase membership through active recruitment. We regularly managed membership renewal data and supplied volunteer committees with data to create a successful campaign. Volunteer committee members contacted potential lost members and increased member retention by 33%.

 

Experienced Talent

Our staff is schooled and experienced in business leadership, marketing, finance, event management and all other areas that are required to provide service excellence to a non-profit organization.

Client Success Story: For one of our largest clients, we have continued successful conference management and increased conference attendance by 40% since 2012. AEG also increased sponsorship revenue by 80% since 2011 and completely sold out exhibits four years running.

 

Professional Financial Controls 

AEG’s financial team brings extensive experience, time-tested processes and procedures, and internal control systems. AEG also partners with a CPA partner for annual audits and ongoing guidance for best non-profit management practices.

Client Success Story: One of our clients came with no accounting files, had $0 in account due to theft from prior AMC. We recreated the entire QuickBooks accounting system based on a print out of prior financials. AEG also recreated the membership database and proceeded to increase its numbers. We researched prior tax documents to draft current year taxes and file them on time and simultaneously planned and executed a conference of over 200 attendees. Over a three-year period we grew cash reserves to more than $250,000.
