About Us
Hello!
Barcami Lane is an association management company (AMC) that provides nonprofit associations and societies with both full-service management and project management services.
We offer effective and creative solutions and we will partner your leadership and volunteers to help make your association the best that it can be.
We currently provide services to over two dozen clients, and we have had the privilege of partnering with an increasing number of associations each year. We serve clients from a diverse range of industries including medical, higher education, and senior business and government executives, among others.
We provide associations with the highest quality management, meeting planning, and consulting services.
AMC Institute Accreditation
Administered by AMC Institute, AMC Institute Accreditation is recognized 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.
Association Management Companies specialize in managing associations and non-profit organizations, providing leadership and professional management services through experienced staff, best practices and shared resources. As AMCs manage multiple association and non-profit clients, their experience and knowledge base are broad and substantial, positioning AMCs as the preferred choice for full-service and specialized management services.
