WHAT IS ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT
ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT IS A SET OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO MAKE A SOCIETY’S DEVELOPMENT MORE EFFECTIVE, ACQUIRE FUNDS FOR ITS OPERATION, ENSURE BENEFITS FOR ITS MEMBERS, INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, AND STRENGTHEN PUBLIC PROMOTION.
Our company, as the first on the Czech market, began to take an active interest in a new form of services for associations, services aimed at helping associations to develop, acquire funds, and ensure interesting benefits for their respective members. In 2003, we were able to conclude our first contract with the Society for Extracorporeal Circulation, and the number of other associations that opted for this form of cooperation has been growing gradually. Nowadays, we are providing association management services to 10 companies and, thus, taking care of a total of 7500 members. Based on our experience, practice and good examples, we are continuing to supplement and innovate our current standard of association management services.
Are you looking for a reliable and professional partner for you society?
Contact us and we can advise you. After an initial analysis of the current state of your society, we propose future development possibilities and the necessary next steps. You will therefore be receiving both professional consultation and services at a level suitable for both the association’s management and for its individual members. Transferring certain activities to Guarant does not mean that the society loses any of its rights or decision-making authority. What we have is mutual cooperation that increases the quality of the services provided by the association to its members, an effective exchange of information with members, and other development opportunities for your society.
WHAT YOU WILL GAIN
Benefits of cooperation
• Ability of the association’s committee to focus more on strategic development
• Improvement of services provided by the association to its members and the public
• Better marketing of the association and its relationship with the public
• Ability to build the association as a “brand” and reinforce its values
• Possibility to merge all necessary services into one point (the committee manages only one
supplier)
• Cost-effective organisation of conference services for the entire association

operations
HOW IT WORKS
Our priorities are putting the client first, exceeding expectations in a positive manner, and creating long-standing cooperation.
We are aware that, in order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to satisfy the association’s development requirements. Through our professional approach and high quality association management services, we can help you develop in the desired direction with minimum risk to your society.
Community building
Good communication inside an association and the feeling of belonging amongst the members form the basis for the development of a society. We place great emphasis, in particular, on common solutions to defined tasks, try to include individuals in the development of the association, and make every effort not to forget the motivational component in the form of benefits for association members.
Strategic planning and effective utilisation of resources
We recommend appropriate procedures based on better utilisation of resources and reserves and help you implement your ideas for the development and growth of the association. We improve the planning possibilities for the association’s activities and the work of the executive secretariat for the period in question with regard to available funds.
Support services
We support your association’s operations by providing legislative, tax, and economic consultancy and marketing services. We identify suitable opportunities for promoting the association and organise press conferences with the media and other services according to your association’s needs.
Benefits for association members
We focus on the needs of individuals, training opportunities and internships, conference fee discounts for members, and other benefits that motivate members to take part in the association’s activities, increase their interest in the association’s field, and develop strong professional relationships.
