Operations
ADG is your association headquarters. We work with national, statewide regional and local associations, and take care of your organizations day-to-day operations. Our association managers handle everything from opening the mail to writing the policy and procedures manual and running your convention – with your mission and strategic goals always in mind.
Strategic Development
ADG gives you the strong foundation to plan boldly for your association's future. We know the importance of thoughtful strategic plan development from initial meetings to final document. We provide a clear sense of direction, measurable objectives, recommendations on resource allocation, and help to maintain continuity of vision during leadership transitions and other challenges.
Professional Development
Professional development is a paradox. Most people join associations to develop their skills. Yet they barely have the time to do so. ADG helps you overcome this with an entire suite of education and training media to upgrade your members' skills wherever they conduct their business.
Convention Planning
The cornerstone of many associations is their annual conference – a reinforcement of the value of membership. Conventions also serve as a gathering place for members to connect face-to-face with professional colleagues, and are a necessary source of revenue for associations. ADG's event planning professionals work in conjunction with association leaders to plan your next conference or event.
Communications & Design
Communicating is harder than ever. Today's fast-paced world requires award-winning communications to get attention, boost participation, and increase membership. Studio136 is the full-service creative division of the Association Development Group, Inc. Our team of talented print and web designers, database developers, copy writers and social media marketers love what they do – and it shows.
Social Media
Potential members and prospective clients are tweeting – you should be too!
