Extensive experience with professional certification provides invaluable assistance, whether you are implementing or updating a certification program.

Furthermore, we work closely with psychometricians and testing services to develop job content analyses, test development and statistical analyses. XMi Association Management’s certification clients strive to meet the standards set by the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA).

Conferences

Perhaps the most visible test of an association’s ability to serve its members is the annual conference. We provide every conference service including program development, attendee registration, contract negotiations, exhibitor relations, on-site liaison with hotels (and other involved groups), as well as promotional support, i.e., printed programs, visual aids and media coverage. We enjoy success at developing vendor relationships – a potential source of advertising and sponsorship revenue for your association. We regularly coordinate sponsorship programs, exhibitions, media coverage and other programs affiliated with high-profile Annual Conferences. Our goal remains, as always, to create a conference that serves the educational and social interests of your members, while meeting the financial objectives of the association.

Conferences often represent the most lucrative source of non-dues income for an association. With years of experience in planning conferences throughout the world, our staff applies its knowledge to benefit your organization. XMi Association Management develops conferences of the highest quality, without losing sight of budgetary guidelines. In addition, our attention to detail makes XMi Association Management - produced events both successful and unforgettable.

Financial Management

Financial management is one of the most significant benchmarks of an association management company’s performance. Our staff is knowledgeable in the intricacies of tax and legal reporting for tax-exempt organizations; and, can also coordinate all state and federal filings. We assist in the preparation of annual budgets and monthly financial statements – complete with historical comparisons. In addition, Walker collects, processes and deposits membership fees and dues. When comprehensible financial reports are presented on a regular basis, association leaders have the current, pertinent data to make informed decisions relating to short and long-term plans.

These range from individual communications with legislators to the creation of comprehensive advocacy programs for grassroots member involvement. We monitor legislative activity on a daily basis, working closely with your contract lobbyist to stay abreast of the issues of utmost importance to your membership.
