ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT
ECG: A Trusted Resource
ECG has earned its reputation as a trusted resource for associations looking to streamline business management and outsource their infrastructure.
Serious organizations and associations know that operating on a shoestring budget with volunteer support is not a sustainable business model. Whether you are launching a new trade association or running an established professional organization, ECG adds value by handling your operations with greater efficiency and effectiveness so you can focus on what matters most.
We take the time to understand your mission, your goals and your priorities in order to provide the seamless support you need to serve your clients – from administration, accounting and strategic planning to project management, meeting planning and membership marketing.
Our Services
Headquarters
ECG’s New Jersey office is available for our clients to use as a headquarters location. We offer administrative support at whatever level is necessary to meet your organization’s specific needs.
Member Relations
Membership is the lifeblood of associations. We help clients identify areas for growing membership and providing meaningful member benefits, then create targeted outreach and onboarding programs, track renewals and maintain your membership database.
Marketing
ECG will develop and manage your marketing initiatives across a range of communication platforms to support your organization’s goals. We assist with all aspects of marketing planning and execution, including brand identity, websites, social media, white papers and press releases.
Administration & Project Management
Whether you need customer service support or assistance with meeting scheduling and preparation, ECG’s experienced team will manage day-to-day operations and shepherd projects to successful completion. We initiate and track committee level and organizational projects and provide status reports throughout the process.
Financial Management
ECG helps associations develop financial policies and procedures, manage A/R and A/P, and prepare financial reports and tax documents in conjunction with their accountant and bookkeeper. Association and project budgets are developed as part of the strategic and project planning process, and we can assist with invoice management and processing member dues.
Conferences, Meetings & Programming
ECG produces association gatherings ranging from large-scale conferences to board meetings, and everything in between. We can assist with setting your board meeting agendas, determining location and cost, communicating the details and effective meeting facilitation.
Strategic Planning & Consulting
Building on a solid foundation of business management principals and entrepreneurial success, ECG will work with your professional advisers, board of directors and executive director to create, maintain and execute strategic plans. We also offer expertise in identifying and forging the strategic alliances that are vital to your organization’s success.
