Meet Prime Management


Prime Management Services, a family-owned business, has been serving non-profit associations and societies for two generations. Our personal level of service to meet and exceed our client's needs and expectations has facilitated our growth through word-of-mouth. This eliminates the unnecessary overhead of retaining  a flashy sales team, which directly converts to costs savings for our clients.

Contact us today to explore how we can help your organization grow its membership and events' attendance within your budget.

Client-Specific Solutions

To ensure each association receives the best service possible, Prime Management, along with the association Board of Directors, develops client specific service agreements. Each association has a team of personnel in our office that provide customized services.

Our goal is to enhance, not detract from, the association's vision. We respect the association's independence and autonomy and take direction from the organization's Board of Directors.

Scalable Solutions

Given the scope of work Prime Management Services provides, we not only offer total association management but also solutions to meet the needs of ever-changing associations. While we provide total association management for most of our clients, we can provide specific, focused, scalable solutions to meet any association's needs.

In addition to total association management, we offer financial, event, publications and other solutions as needed.

Affordable Solutions

Many associations come to us with one primary question, "How much is this going to cost?". Prime Management works with organizations with budgets of all sizes. Many associations find that using Prime Management Services is far more cost effective with overhead costs shared by all clients, and our experience that has helped us identify the most cost effective vendors in the industry. 

The Prime Management Family

As a smaller association management firm, Prime Management Services is able to devote greater percentages of our time to develop solutions specific to each organization we serve while simultaneously providing regular feedback and suggestions to the organization's board of directors on how we can assist in meeting the organization's goals.

We are more than a company and more than a team. We are a FAMILY.
