What is an AMC?

An Association Management Company (AMC) is an independent service provider offering solutions for associations. This often includes management solutions, membership development, strategic guidance and administration services. The goal of an association is to bring like-minded people together, meaning association members need to focus on this. An AMC can take over everyday operations to ensure the association stays focused on its goal and remains relevant to members.

Shellcove was founded on the association management business model acting as an independent provider of effective solutions in all areas of business management and growth for associations. Some of our many services include governance, strategy, administrative assistance, membership management and development, financial management, communications and marketing and event management.

Simply put, we can act as the home office of your association, managing the daily operational tasks or help you with any specific projects using an outsourced model.
