MT. LAUREL, NJ – February 12, 2014 — As a leader in the industry, Association Headquarters (AH) continues to break new ground and expand its reach outside of the traditional services that a typical association management company (AMC) would offer. But then again, AH has proven itself to be far from a typical AMC.
While providing full executive management, as well as specialized project services to more than 30 international and national professional and trade associations, AH has expanded its scope of work to include management consulting services as well. This decision was in direct response to hearing a need from many stand-alone associations seeking executive leadership during times of expansion and development phases relating to company growth.
We understand the view from where you sit, AH’s tagline communicates to prospective partners that AH is able to tailor services to meet the specific needs of an organization based on their strategic goals and initiatives. “Our ability to create customized services in order to meet the needs of a client or partner is something we pride ourselves on,” said Bob Waller, CAE, president and CEO of AH. “At one point in time, we were able to organize our partners into one category or another — that’s no longer the case; we’re finding that many stand-alone organizations and for-profit groups are turning to AH as a consultant who can assist with temporary or contractual management services.”
AH was recently engaged by NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA), to help the organization with change management as they implemented the next step in their organization’s evolution. NAFA’s growth and success meant that a new structure was necessary, and speed was important.
“It became apparent that we would need to realign our staff and create new positions in order to continue working through the implementation of our strategic plan and vision. Working with AH has allowed me to remain focused on our strategic objectives, while having a trusted and experienced partner to help me accelerate the operational changes needed and also support the career development of my incredibly talented staff,” said NAFA Executive Director Phillip E. Russo, CAE. “We turned to AH, a leader in the industry with a long-standing presence in the association community, because they continue to be flexible and innovative in making the solution fit our needs.”
