Jan. 18, 2012, MADISON, Wis. – Association Management Partners, LLC announces that the firm recently became accredited by the AMC Institute. The accreditation was granted following an in-depth, third-party audit of the firm’s management and operations.

AMP, owned by Lynda J. Patterson, FASAE, CAE, provides association leadership, event planning and management, member communications, public relations, financial management and other management services to multiple national and international trade associations and professional societies from its headquarters in Madison, Wis. Founded in 2008, the firm employs 10 people.

Of the more than 500 association management companies (AMCs) worldwide, AMP is one of just 70 firms that have achieved this prestigious accreditation, demonstrating that they operate with the highest level of professionalism and responsibility, and consistently meet or exceed industry standards.

“The AMC Institute accreditation is testimony to the incredible job Lynda and her team have done for the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA). The CSIA has seen significant membership growth, highly rated conferences, solid financial performance, and an increasing list of membership benefits over the last few years. This would not be possible without AMP’s leadership and professional approach to managing our association,” said former CSIA chairman of the board Ed Diehl.

“Under Lynda Patterson’s leadership, AMP has taken the Wisconsin Society of Association Executives to new levels of member satisfaction since we became their client in 2009. Their innovative ideas, their commitment to make every one of our products and services the best it can be, and their solid business practices are reflective of a company having excellent management practices,” said Lani Becker, CAE, president of the WSAE.

The AMC Institute is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to promoting excellence among association management companies worldwide. More information about AMP appears at www.associationmanagementpartners.com.
