Since then, the association has continued to grow and has undergone several name changes, including the the Multiple Association Management Institute (MAMI), Institute of Association Management Companies (IAMC) in 1976, and then the International Association of Association Management Companies (IAAMC) in 1996. In the early 2000’s, AMCs from ASAE and IAAMC joined together to form the AMC Institute, a marketing arm to support the promotion of the AMC model. AMCs could purchase a partnership with the AMC Institute, regardless of their membership in IAAMC or ASAE. Then in 2005, IAAMC changed its name to AMC Institute, assumed the AMC marketing responsibilities and ultimately, in August 2006, the organization as a whole assumed the AMC Institute name to more clearly brand the AMC concept.</font></p><font style="font-size: 15px;"><font color="#FFFFFF"> </font><font color="#FFFFFF"> </font></font><p><font color="#FFFFFF" style="font-size: 15px;">In May 2007 in order to provide clearer direction to associations interested in being managed by association management companies (AMCs), the AMC Institute and ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership agreed to support a single AMC accreditation program.</font></p></div> </div></div></div></td><td style="" data-componentId="gIYpese_separator" class="WaLayoutSeparator"><div style="width: inherit;"></div></td><td id="id_YYn4YTT" data-componentId="YYn4YTT" class="WaLayoutItem" style="background-color:transparent;width:50%;"><div id="id_ZJNDU6x" class="WaLayoutPlaceHolder placeHolderContainer" data-componentId="ZJNDU6x" style=""><div style=""><div id="id_KFGkdqs" class="WaGadgetOnly WaGadgetContent gadgetStyleNone" style="background-color:#2598D5;" data-componentId="KFGkdqs" ><div class="gadgetStyleBody gadgetContentEditableArea" style="padding-top:5px;padding-right:5px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:5px;" data-editableArea="0" data-areaHeight="auto"> <img src="/resources/Pictures/infographic.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="473" height="779" style=""></div> </div></div></div></td></tr></table> </div><div id="id_N4DLKG4" data-componentId="N4DLKG4" class="WaLayoutContainer" style=""><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="WaLayoutTable" style=""><tr data-componentId="N4DLKG4_row" class="WaLayoutRow"><td id="id_uulGuLq" data-componentId="uulGuLq" class="WaLayoutItem" style="width:100%;"><div id="id_j1ZyDR9" class="WaLayoutPlaceHolder placeHolderContainer" data-componentId="j1ZyDR9" style=""><div style=""><div id="id_ggJWiWB" class="WaGadgetOnly WaGadgetContent gadgetStyleNone" style="background-color:#F9F9F9;" data-componentId="ggJWiWB" ><div class="gadgetStyleBody gadgetContentEditableArea" style="padding-left:20px;" data-editableArea="0" data-areaHeight="auto"> <h1><strong><span><font style="font-size: 30px;">Association Management Companies <font color="#2598d5" style="">Fact Sheet</font></font></span></strong></h1></div> </div></div></div></td></tr></table> </div><div id="id_p6ecixm" data-componentId="p6ecixm" class="WaLayoutContainer" style=""><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="WaLayoutTable" style=""><tr data-componentId="p6ecixm_row" class="WaLayoutRow"><td id="id_FZkrob6" data-componentId="FZkrob6" class="WaLayoutItem" style="width:50%;"><div id="id_VgPPoPA" class="WaLayoutPlaceHolder placeHolderContainer" data-componentId="VgPPoPA" style=""><div style=""><div id="id_CLYQwn3" class="WaGadgetOnly WaGadgetContent gadgetStyleNone" style="background-color:#F9F9F9;" data-componentId="CLYQwn3" ><div class="gadgetStyleBody gadgetContentEditableArea" style="padding-right:20px;padding-left:20px;" data-editableArea="0" data-areaHeight="auto"> <p>Association management companies, or AMCs, are for-profit businesses that manage associations to help them grow and prosper.
