Why Choose ADS instead of hiring in-house positions?

---

ADS allows your board to focus on what matters, ensuring that the association’s daily operations and management are handled by a skilled team of non-profit management professionals. ADS can also be used to supplement existing association staff, extending the capacity and expertise of your team. 

We bring you the ability to get out of the weeds and plan for the future. Whether you opt for full-service management or a la carte, your board will have more time to focus on what’s important to your association and work toward its mission and goals.

Our team provides over 30 years of association leadership and management experience with our backgrounds and capabilities. As your partner, we take care of the day-to-day activities of managing an organization's services and programs, increasing efficiency, enabling scalability, and allow the volunteers to spend more of their time focused on meaningful mission-driven work. 

In addition to traditional association management services, we work with existing staff to provide a blended model with project management and a la carte offerings. From full-service association management to individual services and short-term consulting, we adapt to fit your needs and scale with you as you grow. 

Our team has a passion for your mission, and because of that, we can guarantee meaningful results. Your team will be designed to meet specific needs that focus on your culture and industry. Each team member will become completely immersed in understanding your organization’s issues, trends, and environment.

Our model ensures your organization retains its unique identity. Each action reflects your brand, core message and value proposition. The ADS team provides high quality products with responsive and personable service.

The ADS model reduces spending on infrastructure costs. Our approach provides clients with a dedicated team that performs like an in-house staff for less cost primarily due to shared overhead and staffing expenses with other organizations. Through long-term partnerships, our clients experience organizational sustainability, growth, and ultimately, transformation. 

Our range of clients allows for favorable negotiations for effective buying power and access to vendors.

Financial stewardship is a top priority. We manage your budget to support your mission. As we safeguard your assets and help them grow, our financial controls are the most stringent in the industry. 

We believe volunteer leadership should be effective and efficient. Our expertise allows us to manage and execute your association’s daily business and operations, freeing up volunteer leadership to focus on the most prominent issues to your association and industry. This results in effective and productive committee and board meetings as well as increased volunteer satisfaction and engagement.
