Senior Manager, Practice Growth, PKF Texas

“I was part of the group who interviewed AMR when we were looking for a new management company in 2018. We needed a quick turnaround and AMR made it happen! They stood out during the search process because of their willingness to listen to our needs and help us solve some not insignificant challenges. Their team goes above and beyond for us. We’re four years into our relationship with AMR and I can say, everything they said about what it’s like to be a client has stayed true. We have a great relationship with not only our daily team, but Nick and DeLaine check in with us on a regular basis. The team helped us throughout the pandemic to not only “survive” but to continue to grow. We appreciate the resources they have to help us find “outside the box” solutions. I truly feel AMR is a great partner for AAM.”

Board Chair and Past President Academy on Communication in Healthcare

“As a small, mission-focused organization, ACH has relied on association management companies for years to support us from an infrastructure perspective. That said, until we connected with AMR, we never had realized the synergistic, almost multiplicative, benefit possible when a mission-focused association aligns with a client-driven, mission-enabling management association. We are reaching heights as an organization beyond what we ever have achieved in the past.”

“For the past few years we have been honored to partner with AMR and their roster of associations. And I can say that without a doubt, the AMR Team is one of the best in the business. When it comes to audiovisual production design and pricing, AMR works closely with our staff to effectively and efficiently oversee the entire AV production. From room holds to ceiling heights, and other AV production needs – the AMR team is totally versed and knowledgeable on what needs to done. When it comes to meetings and event planning – the AMR Team is fantastic.”

“Because of the negotiating prowess of AMR, we were allowed the flexibility to work with suppliers of our own choosing. This enabled M² OnStage to use a trusted vendor and labor, which greatly reduced costs. In our view, these savings were possible because of AMR’s knowledge of hotel contracts and up-front negotiations, paving the way for us to do our job, thus enabling M² OnStage to deliver our service at a fair price. The planning expertise that AMR brings to the table is truly an advantage that we wish all of our clients had. We applaud and sincerely value the relationship we have with the AMR team.”

Director of Practice Growth, Rea & Associates, Inc.

“AMR executes at a very high level, so we are able to get much more done and do it efficiently. But they don’t just stay at the operational level. One of the things we value most about AMR is the strategic guidance of their team, and their willingness to put their expertise to use for our association’s benefit. The team we work with is perfectly matched to our needs, and working with AMR has elevated our Board of Directors’ purpose and performance. They are always looking out for us, and offer an excellent balance of day-to-day support and forward-looking strategic direction. I can’t say enough about what AMR has done for our organization.”

“I want to personally add my thanks and to share how impressed I am with [AMR’s] professionalism, thoroughness, and continuously supportive and positive attitude. In an earlier career, I was an executive director with a small nonprofit organization, and I know how challenging working with a board of directors and general members can be. You do it with such grace!”

“NASCIO has been an AMR client for over two decades now and we truly value the relationship. There is a trust between the volunteer leaders of the organization and our AMR team and we know that we can share our goals for the organization and our team will make them a reality.

“I’ve been impressed by AMR’s innovative conference approaches that use the best of current adult learning theory. Promotion of reflection, adult-centered breakouts patterned after Open Space Technology, letting attendees self-manage learning. It’s all there. No “sage from the stage” emphasis here. Their accreditation of course goes much further, but AMR’s conferences have been terrific.”

“With AMR, I have found genuine partners who operate with transparency, integrity and a win-win approach. We’ve been able to celebrate great success together and have also had some challenging and difficult conversations. Both types of situations are always focused on finding that balance between the needs of AMR’s Client Partners and those of Marriott International to ensure a favorable outcome for both.”

“We chose AMR as our management partner because of their proven success with associations like ours. The relationship grew to a full-service management relationship in less than a year, because AMR demonstrated they are a true partner in our success. Our AMR team lifts the load to allow our volunteer Board of Directors to create and drive strategy. Even more importantly, they’ve demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile for our members.”
