20. Why should we use an
association management
company instead of hiring
an employee or an
independent contractor?
Q

company means that you have access to more
people, and more talent than any one person can
provide. In addition, because our team is made up
of over a dozen people, there are no lapses in
service, and scheduling is simple. Not only that
but when you factor in employee costs, an
association management company is less
expensive.

credentialing process for our

education events as well

24. What is the length of
your contract? We

locked into anything.
Q

25. We use a 1-year contract with a
90 day, with notice termination
clause and a 30-day notice if we
don’t perform up to the contract.
So you are only committed for 90
days if something comes up.
