Association Management

Association management for architecture and construction associations.

Your board gets a team to run events, membership, sponsor programs, communications, and board meetings for one management fee. Your website, membership system, and event registration are built in house around how your association already works. SkyKPI is an association management company for trade associations in precast concrete and in architecture, engineering, and construction.

Schedule of services

What full-team management covers

Custom platforms

The website, member sign-up and renewals, event registration, and continuing education tracking, built in house for your association.

Membership

Recruitment, renewals, onboarding, and a clean roster your board can trust at budget time.

Sponsors

Sponsorship packages that track attendance and follow-up, so companies can decide on renewal with numbers.

Communications

The newsletter, the website, and member updates that get opened and read.

Board support

Agendas, minutes, budgets, and written procedures the whole team works from.

Built in house

Custom platforms for members and events

Your members can join, renew, register, and track continuing education in a system built for your association. We write the software ourselves, so it follows your dues structure, your event formats, and your continuing education rules. Staff and members do not have to work around what a packaged system cannot do.

What we can build for your association: the public website, event registration your members can finish without creating an account, self-serve sign-up and renewal for firms and partners, a continuing education tracker, and a searchable awards archive. Changes the board asks for are made by the same team that built the system.

The platforms run on standard hosting and database services. SkyKPI builds and maintains the software, including access controls and data backups, as part of the management fee. The association owns its domain, its member data, and its records. If the association ever changes management, we export your member data and association records in standard formats and help with the move.

For the board

Why boards make the switch

With a team, the work does not depend on one person, and a resignation does not take the association's history with it. We keep shared event records, sponsor histories, and membership data so another team member can take over.

Associations run in peaks. A team scales up for the annual meeting and scales back in the quiet months, and the fee already accounts for both.

We work in precast concrete, architecture, and construction every day, so your board never has to explain the industry to its own staff.

The standard

What the board should expect

Members renew and sponsors come back when the events run well and the communication is steady. Every service on this page is aimed at those renewals.

Questions and answers

What boards ask us

What does an association management company handle?

Everything an executive director and staff would: events, membership, sponsor programs, communications, finances alongside your treasurer, and board support. The association keeps its own name and board. We supply the team and the systems behind it.

What does association management cost?

One fee scoped to the association’s size and calendar, set in a conversation with the board. There is no hourly billing. For many associations the fee compares to a single director’s salary and benefits, and it buys a whole team.

Do we have to use an off-the-shelf membership system?

No. We build the website, membership system, event registration, and continuing education tracking in house, so they fit how your association works. SkyKPI builds and maintains the software, and the association owns its domain, its member data, and its records.

How is this different from hiring an executive director?

With a management team, operations and records depend less on any one person. Full-team management gives the association an events person, a communications person, and a membership person, with continuity that survives turnover.

Do you work with associations outside construction?

Our focus is trade and professional associations in precast concrete, architecture, and construction. Your board should never have to explain the industry to its own staff.
