Your Strategy, Our Expertise
Association Management Companies (AMCs) partner with associations and membership-driven organizations to manage day-to-day operations so volunteers can stay focused on strategy and long-term impact. From membership services and financial oversight to meetings, marketing, and program development, AMCs provide the expertise and infrastructure that allow associations to thrive.
At TMG, we've been doing this work for more than 35 years. Guided by your strategy, we bring specialized knowledge and resources to execute it, ensuring your Board of Directors and committee volunteers can concentrate on vision, leadership, and results.
The Benefits of AMCs
The greatest benefit of an AMC is focus. By entrusting operations to a team of association professionals, your volunteers are free to concentrate on strategy, visions, and advancing the mission.
Other advantages include:
- Specialized Expertise: Access to experts in finance, events, membership, marketing, and governance, without hiring each role in-house.
- Scalability: Services that expand or contract as your association's needs evolve.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduced overhead with the flexibility of fractional specialists.
- Industry Best Practices: Proven methods to strengthen operations, governance, financials, and member engagement.
- Expanded Reach: Leverage AMCs' established vendor networks for cost savings and preferred pricing.
- Future Readiness: A partner who keeps you focused on long-term growth.
The Data Backs It Up

Why Accreditation Matters
Not all AMCs are created equal. Accreditation through the AMC Institute signified adherence to the highest standard of management practices in the field.
TMG is proud to be one of only about 100 AMCs worldwide, and the only one in Western Massachusetts, accredited under the AMC Institute's rigorous standards. Accreditation ensures that we maintain strong governance, transparent financial practices, and reliable operational processes.
For our clients, accreditation is peace of mind: your association is managed according to the industry's best practices, with accountability you can trust.
