 Property Description

Complete Event Management

Managing an association is a full-time, demanding occupation, with responsibilities ranging from producing newsletters and administering insurance programs to steering membership drives, planning conventions and organizing special events.

It generally falls to an association’s director or a very small staff to manage the many duties involved. Today, many associations and organizations are finding that it can be very cost-effective to contract for the services of a specialized, multi-management company to supervise all or part of these tasks. RK Association Management, Inc., a subsidiary of The RK Group, manages associations and plans meetings for organizations all over the United States.

Reducing Costs, Increasing Efficiency

The key is understanding how an association functions and communicates with its membership — and then performing those tasks well, using fewer people and better technology. It is quicker and more cost-effective, for example, for a computerized management company to maintain and update membership rosters and continuing education credits. Even labor-intensive work — like organizing all the details of an annual convention or arranging distinctive special events — can be accomplished more efficiently when delegated to a management company with the right contacts, resources, staff, negotiating skills and creativity. RK Association Management performs all these tasks for many associations, helping the organizations remain lean and efficient by minimizing administrative and staffing costs and improving results.
