ASSOCIATIONS, FOUNDATIONS AND OTHER COOPERATIONS
Running, managing and developing associations and other cooperative initiatives is what we are passionate about. Whether we are building upon the foundation of an existing organisation, or developing a new one from scratch. We’re dedicated to the unique missions of these cooperations and furthering their causes through collaboration, strategic leadership, and vision.
ASSOCIATIONS
We offer all-round support ranging from finding the common ground for forming a cooperation and establishing and growing new organisations to revitalising or restructuring existing ones. We provide all the required professional services including strategic leadership, financial management, member services, membership growth, marketing and communications and general administration to trade associations and professional membership organisations.
FOUNDATIONS
From starting foundations to managing an existing foundation’s day-to-day operations, we have the experience to create long-term success on your behalf. We can assist foundations in starting up, developing and managing their boards and finances, and provides an effective plan to engage partners and contributors and stakeholders to create long-term success.
COOPERATIONS
Certain situations call for temporary cooperation, geared at one or a number of themes. Such cooperations can be referred to as ad-hoc, theme-based, single-issue groups or project organisations. Stakeholders can have similar or diverse backgrounds, but find common ground in this particular project. As neutral partner we can facilitate this temporary cooperation, identify additional partners, organise meetings to determine the actions needed and execute these on the group's behalf.
STRATEGIC EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
To provide the best leadership, we offer associations and foundations an association specialist who supports or manages the day-to-day activities and liaises with the board of directors. Our professionals are experienced in strategy as well as management, allowing them to provide high-level strategic guidance to the boards while optimising the operational side.
SECRETARIAL TASKS
We have extensive experience in running the back office and general management of member organisations with a pro-active attitude. We understand that board members are busy and therefore require the right support and communications to ensure their board position is experienced as a rewarding privilege. We excel at membership engagement and management of growth.
LOBBY ACTIVITIES
Our extensive experience in government relations allows us to provide expert advice, ensure organisations are prepared to meet policy challenges and help to advocate for policies that benefit members and their industry. We develop strategic connections with other groups whose interests align, amplifying members' voices in the policy debate.
MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS
Our expertise in marketing and communications spans a variety of disciplines. We create advocacy and communication plans, for both internal and external stakeholders. We can design, write and edit publications and websites, create effective social media communications and campaigns and develop and implement media and public relations strategies.
