Share this

Congrex announced that it has been AMC Institute re-accredited by AMC Institute, the global trade association representing the Association Management Industry.

Among 500-plus Association Management Companies (AMC) worldwide, fewer than 60 have achieved AMC Institute Accreditation, demonstrating the commitment and the ability to deliver the highest level of professional management services to association and not-for-profit clients. These AMCs are the recognised choice of association and not-for-profit organisations.

“We congratulate Congrex for achieving AMC Institute Accreditation,” stated AMC Institute Board President, John Dee. “The accreditation evaluation is the most demanding and comprehensive in our industry. Clients of accredited AMCs should feel assured that this exclusive group operates with the highest level of professionalism and responsibility, and consistently meets or exceeds all industry requirements.”

Congrex Belgium will be honored at the 2011 Summer Meeting in St. Louis, MO, USA, where it will be awarded the updated Accreditation Certificate. Colm Clarke, Congrex Belgium Managing Director reacts: “We believe that the accreditation says to the world that Congrex Association Management is delivered with a high level of professionalism and responsibility. It communicates what Congrex strive for in its Association Management functions – and that means meeting the standard requirements is a seal of the highest quality. We are proud of our continued AMC accreditation, and pleased to communicate this throughout the industry.”

Administered by AMC Institute, AMC Institute Accreditation is recognised and supported by ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership and is based on the ANSI Standard of Good Practices for the AMC Industry. ANSI requires that the standard be reviewed and updated regularly to remain an approved standard. Measurable performance practices include contracts and service delivery; employee recruitment, training and professional development; and financial management and internal controls, among others. AMCs must earn re-accreditation every four years, demonstrating to an independent outside auditor that they continue to meet the standard.
