The Society of Association Management
Introduction to the Society
The Society has been created to fill a need for a professional body to represent those professionals who run, manage and work for membership organisations of all kinds including Trade Associations, Professional bodies , Trade Unions and Charities. We are also driven by the importance of the membership model in a wide range of for profit as well as not for profit sectors and seek to recognise the unique skill sets required by membership professionals in todays rapidly changing world.
Key benefits of membership
The Society will offer its members a number of benefits including the use of post nominal letters, networking opportunities both physical and virtual. In addition we are seeking to offer career support for all those seeking a career in membership management. This will include mentoring opportunities utilising the huge amount of combined experience and knowledge held by our senior members and Fellows.

We intend to offer corporate membership to suppliers to membership organisations in the near future but realise that to enhance the value proposition for supplier businesses we need to focus initially on building up membership levels. We are keen to support the smaller suppliers that are happy to supply smaller membership organisations. We are conscious that many of the more well-known service providers are generally not happy to work within the often very limited budgets available, especially from new membership bodies. Until we officially launch the corporate membership grade, we are still very open to discussing potential support/sponsorship packages with suppliers as we are keen to be able to offer a wide rage of discounts for packages signed up to by our members for their organisations. Please use the
contact form to enquire about this.
