“I would highly recommend The Center for Association Resources. They conducted a major study on our members’ preferences and concerns. As a result of The Center’s work, we were able to craft a strategic plan that has our programs and services on target with member needs.”

“The Center for Association Resources came to my rescue! I needed a series of Focus Groups done immediately. Rob and his staff met with my Senior Staff and helped us outline a plan. The Focus Groups were so successful that we have continued meeting with the individuals on a more informal basis. My Board of Directors was very pleased with the final report that The Center presented to them. The Center go to the heart of the matter, and we have implemented all the changes he identified in the sessions. It was a pleasure working with Rob, and I look forward to future endeavors with his firm.”

“The Center For Association Resources thoroughly understands the not-for-profit environment and were very easy to work with. On a scale of one-to-five we give them the highest score possible, a five! Key recommendations generated as a result of our market intelligence activities have now become an integral part of our various committee workplans. This represents a highly successful outcome for us. For the first time, our Board is able to make decisions and plans based member information…our return on investment was significant. It was worth much more to our association than hiring a research firm to conduct a single survey for us. The Center’s recommendations were insightful and spot-on, and we look forward to working with them again.”

“The Center for Association Resources has been wonderful to work with! We chose the Center through a competitive process and were looking particularly for an association management firm that would provide us with a strong administrative foundation, support our membership services, and work with us to creatively identify potential sources of revenue. The Center has been responsive, identified areas of savings for us, and given thoughtful and careful counsel to NAER. They have been exceptional to partner with!”

“This market caused us to question everything and every dime we were spending as an organization and even ask ourselves if we should continue with a management organization. In the end we concluded that none of us wanted to move back into the dark ages of self-management, and that we absolutely had to keep The Center for Association Resources as our membership management team. And we are very glad we did. They have met our needs in every way, and have given us the confidence that our member’s needs are also being met, along with a commitment to helping us grow our membership ranks. We are delighted to work with their team.”

“The American Academy of Craniofacial Pain was founded in 1985 by 14 dentists. For many years we were served by a small Central Office, but as the Academy grew to nearly 800 members, we realized help was needed from a source with greater organizational skills.The selection of The Center for Association Resources to function as our new Executive Office was fortuitous, as the synergy has been excellent. The multitudinous situations that require expertise beyond the Officers and Directors’ knowledge have been handled in expert fashion. The staff has been of great help with managing the burgeoning business of serving the membership. I can personally say that The Center for Association Resources has been extremely efficient in molding the AACP into a 21st century organization – the two organizations are a great match.”

“I want to express my appreciation to the staff of The Center for Association Resources for their support and efforts during the 2008 AACP Annual International Clinical Symposium. We could never have pulled off the Table Clinics without their energy and support. As is often the case, we had last minute arrivals that were not expected. The Center’s staff managed it very well with ease and efficiency. The Table Clinics are an important part of the educational experience at AACP Symposia, and The Center’s management of them before and during the meeting made my job as Chair of the Table Clinics much smoother. I know the Center’s staff will continue to provide assistance as well as further suggestions and recommendations for the success of these programs…
I am looking forward to working with The Center staff on future meetings.”
