Board Leadership and Support

Let our collective knowledge gained from managing multiple non-profits for over 20 years help guide your board to more efficient operations and processes. Our management team can help boards prioritize information, ensure IRS and financial compliance, tighten policies and procedures, streamline documents and redundancies within, and find ways to shorten painful board and committee meetings. Shorter, more efficient meetings can result in more content volunteers who are willing to remain involved long after their term is complete. We can work with board members to utilize tools of the industry in order to create a more cohesive mind-set and focus goals while avoiding ‘group think’.  MatriXamc's staff can develop training packages to educate and center your board members, utilize management tools to keep members advised of their tasks and timelines, even guide the organization through strategic planning sessions. Help give your board members the tools to accomplish lofty goals for your organization, take advantage of our experience in association management to take your board ‘out of the clouds to a 30,000 foot experience’.

Our team has experience managing geographically diverse boards whose members meet across several continents simultaneously; let us help leverage online technologies to bridge distance and language barriers.  Planning and deployment of organizational based online board and committee meetings can minimize the need for burdensome in-person meetings.

Financial Management

INCREASING INCOME FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Our team is probably most proud of our ability to come into a new organization, find financial inefficiencies and increase net income for our clients.  your organization might be a non-profit but it could certainly benefit from a health bottom line to reinvest into new membership programs! A current client recently made thousands of dollars by simply by maximizing the use of their organizational 'rewards' credit card through our careful online oversight.  Another received the equivalent of $10,000 savings in free hotel rooms for staff and committees at their annual conference while picking up several more thousand in room credits toward their master bill.  Yet another has seen their exhibit and sponsor income triple under our proactive management. We and pleased to use many "tricks of the trade" to help your organization save its resources!

EXPENSE SAVINGS
Sometimes helping the bottom line is as easy as evaluating an organization's profit and loss statement, working to correct inefficiencies that lead to higher than necessary expenses. It can be difficult for organizations to make the tough decisions needed to tighten spending, let us advise your association based on our budgeting and operational experiences with dozens of groups.  Recently through this process, we were able to increase net profit for a small meeting (approx $150K budget), from only $3,000 per year with prior management to over $50,000 netted annually. After several years of management, this group now has a healthy savings and is looking at developing another educational program to help its members.  Similar results have been achieved with other organizations with which we have worked over the years.

For some groups this has become a profit center for their organization.

Credentialing Services Management

The primary difference between hiring a management team that is experienced in overseeing a general non-profit, such as a home owners association or a local interest group, and a credentialing organization, is full understanding of a detailed timeline and process in order to legally protect an organization; we have experience in this area and can help limit your liability and exposure.
