DMS Announces Certification Achievement Diversified Management Services (DMS) is proud and pleased to announce that we have met the Accreditation Standards set forth by The American Society of Association Executives' Association Management Company Accreditation Commission ASAE PRESS RELEASE ASAE's AMC Accreditation Program was established this spring to identify practices indicative of quality AMCs; assess the procedures of individual AMCs; formally recognize those AMCs that meet requirements set forth by the 8-member Accreditation Commission; and improve the quality of services provided to the association community. A total of 30 AMCs have now earned accreditation from ASAE this year. "It's early in the evolution of this program, but this accreditation is quickly being recognized in the association management field as the distinguishing mark among AMCs," said ASAE President and CEO Michael S. Olson, CAE. The AMC Accreditation Commission administers ASAE's Accreditation Program, and is chaired by Charles Rumbarger, CAE, chairman of Association Management Group in McLean, VA. Rumbarger said accreditation benefits both AMCs and potential clients. "Associations seeking and using AMC services are able to select firms committed to specific standards and business practices, and accredited firms are able to distinguish themselves as meeting those standards," Rumbarger said.
