Association Management Services

Serving associations is the core of what we do at Bond Association Management (BAM), and has been since 2003. Our services include association management and administration, membership services, technology, financial and accounting services, and fundraising, all backed by years of hands-on experience.

Association Management and Administration

This involves general administration matters such as assisting with writing or revising Association By-laws and mission statements; providing administrative and strategic support for the association’s Executive Council, Board of Governors or Directors, Committees, and Task Forces; and generating policies and implementing processes for awards and grants. BAM also conducts market research and surveys and analyzes the trends and statistics of the results. We also offer a full range of headquarters services, including general administration, mail processing, accounts payable and receivable, telephone support and much more.

Membership Services

Member services are a priority for us. We respond to your members’ inquiries and concerns promptly and professionally, process new member applications and prepare application packages for review by your membership committee. We also develop and carry out strategies for recruiting new members and retaining existing ones.

Technology Services for Associations

BAM helps your association make the most of current technology. We maintain and improve the databases and information systems your association relies on, and build your online presence by managing your website, social media and mobile-friendly tools, keeping your news and announcements up to date. We also partner with leading technology companies for event apps and other specialized tools.

Money Matters

Finances are a challenge for every not-for-profit association. It’s a tug of war between income and expenses – expenses rise while at the same time there is a resistance to raise membership fees. It’s becoming more and more difficult to balance the budget while trying to give members first-rate programming. Having dealt with so many of these challenges over the years has given us the knowledge of how to ‘get the best bang for the buck’ and present first-rate programs on a limited budget. In addition, we offer a sponsorship and vendor program that has raised additional funds that can be used to raise the level of programs.

Accounting services: Financial acumen is of extreme importance when handling the accounting for associations. BAM helps organize your association finances by assisting the Board in preparing budgets for the operation of the association and monitoring them on a regular basis. We use generally accepted accounting practices to track income and expenses yearly and for each event. We prepare and distribute financial reports in a timely manner. BAM believes in the policy of total transparency of financials and those on the board in charge of finances can monitor the flow of funds. We make sure that every dollar is accounted for and we provide financial reports that are detailed, easily read and understood.

Keen Eye for Detail

Our team is incredibly detail-oriented.  BAM is a team of eagle eyes that can spot even the tiniest flaw or mistake and have it corrected before it leaves our hands.  We double-check and even triple-check all written and online material before it’s published.  We check all aspects of each and every event before and during so that nothing can go wrong.  And if by chance something unexpected goes wrong, we think on our feet and move quickly to fix the problem.
