How are associations adjusting to the challenges brought on by COVID-19? Lynda J. Patterson, FASAE, CAE, President & Owner of AMPED Association Management joins us to discuss how the industry is evolving and innovating under the current conditions. She also provides insight into the AMC model, work-life blend, and her story in the industry.

Congratulations! You've decided to move your association to a new management company. Next up: the transition. How your new AMC handles the process of moving staff, finances, membership, technology and communications will lay the foundation of your relationship. Our guest, AMPED Chief of Staff Emily Petersen, walks us through the transition timeline and shares how she uses the process as an opportunity to get a more thorough understanding of an organization, with the goal of delivering more efficient practices right away. Listen as she describes how she leads staff to transition clients in 90, 60, and 30 days — sometimes even less!

In April of 2020, AAAA (American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants) had a meeting scheduled that couldn't happen because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Led by Executive Director Michael Battaglia, CAE, and Meetings Director Amy Motyka, CMP, the staff and board leadership pivoted to a virtual online meeting.

Speakers, sponsors, and staff sprung into action, and in three weeks, a canceled conference became a successful event! Hear the story of success and learning in an interview with AMPED's Tony Veroeven.
