“We limit our management practice to a select group of organizations which we believe have growth potential, have committed and dedicated volunteers and to whom we can be intellectually committed and continuously challenged.”

What is an Association Management Company?

Association management companies (AMCs) are highly qualified and experienced teams that can be hired by an association's board of directors to manage day-to-day operations and bring strategic initiatives to life. When a board signs a management agreement with an AMC, such as Holland-Parlette Associates, it gains a dedicated staff and office headquarters, often at a fraction of cost of a traditional stand-alone operation. Most importantly, it gains a team that provides reliable support, accountability, and operational consistency that can lead to greater financial stability and membership growth.

What We Do

Most professional and trade associations have a myriad of strategic needs, goals and objectives, and Holland-Parlette Associates, Inc. (HPA) has the experience and credentials to help you meet even your most complex requirements.

  • The skills necessary to grow an organization while ensuring cost
    efficiency.
  • Assurance that all clerical, administrative and procedural matters are implemented accurately and in a timely and courteous manner.
