One of the primary reasons many associations are headquartered in Washington is to have direct access to government policy makers. At Sufka & Associates, we have developed the contacts, insight and savoir faire to make politicians listen to our concerns and respond in kind.
 
   

An association's strength is a direct reflection of its membership. A dissatisfied or complacent membership can have disastrous results for a non-profit organization. At Sufka & Associates, we pride ourselves on providing efficient, responsive action to membership requests and needs.

Our entire staff will be constantly updated on events occurring in your organization. At all times, persons knowledgeable in the affairs of your group will be on hand to answer members' calls and fulfill their requests.

 
   

At Sufka & Associates, each client organization is assigned an account executive to oversee the affairs of the group. This individual directs a staff of multi-talented specialists, including personnel experienced in accounting, word processing, data-base management, public relations, advertising, marketing, research, typesetting, writing, editing, publication design, and hotel and recreation management.

Each client's account executive has final staff responsibility for all association programs, personnel, and facilities at headquarters offices. He or she delegates specific responsibilities to other staff members, while ensuring that association policies and directives are followed to the letter. We stress that all actions performed on behalf of client organizations are undertaken in direct consultation with the organizations' officers and board of directors.

 
   

Judicious financial management is crucial to the success of non-profit organizations. "Non-profit" does not mean associations cannot generate income. On the contrary, a well researched, long-term financial plan is essential to association growth and achievement. Your account executive, in conjunction with other members of our staff, will work with your officers, board of directors and committees to develop programs and market products and services to help the association make a profit, and thus grow.

Because Sufka & Associates is a multiple management firm, we can perform most of the services our clients require in-house. This results in the most effective use of funds possible for non-profit organizations.

Unlike some management companies, Sufka & Associates works within the framework of your association's budget. In other words, all costs associated with the management and administrations of the association are included in the annual management fee. Once this fee is established, the association knows up front exactly how much it will cost to administer its affairs for that year.

 
   
The annual fee is established in close consultation with the association board of directors. Financial reports are available for review on a monthly or quarterly basis.
