Wait…what?
Let’s take a step back. We’ll start with nurses. Yes, nurses. Specifically, a nurse specializing in dermatology…
Regina Phalange is nurse specializing in dermatology and wants to join an organization to help her advance her career. She wants to join a group that offers educational opportunities and connects her with other nurses who also specialize in dermatology. The answer? The Dermatology Nurses Association.
It’s a national organization, led by its members, that offers all of the above…but how? The members of the Dermatology Nurses Association (DNA) are experts in dermatology…not in managing an association.
That’s where AH comes in.
Our staff of nearly 200 is made up of experts in executive and business management, finance, membership growth, marketing, public relations, digital media, creative design, technology solutions, professional convention and meeting management, plus much more.
Together, we work to advance organizations to greatness. Associations like DNA partner with us to fulfill their mission and vision and we help them achieve measurable success in four key areas:
Multi-dimensional growth
Engaged and disciplined leadership
Intelligent use of technology
An unwavering commitment to mission
At AH, we provide our management services on a full-service basis, where we become an organization’s headquarters. Or, on a project basis, where we provide just the services they need, when they need it.
Currently, we manage more than 30 professional trade and medical associations or societies. Some of our client partners include:
American Neurological Association
American Society of Transplantation
Council for Chemical Research
Dermatology Nurses Association
Halloween Industry Association
Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association
NADCA: The HVAC Inspection, Maintenance and Restoration Association
National Association of Professional Organizers
Society for Information Management
