INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP CONFIRMS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE FOR ASSOCIATION HEADQUARTERS

Association Global Services Provides Worldwide Reach

MT. LAUREL, NJ - Association Headquarters (AH) announces today its strategic global partnership with Association Global Services (AGS).

The alliance provides AH access to skilled and knowledgeable international association management staff in Brussels and Zurich, to serve the European Community, and the most recently opened AGS office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to serve association needs in Asia.

"As the global scope of our client partners increases, so does the need for our logistical global reach," said William MacMillan, CAE, CEO of AH. "Partnering with AGS enhances our reach to Europe and Asia Pacific."

Unique partnership benefits include a multi-lingual, multi-cultural staff, to assist U.S. based associations with international strategic planning and consulting, government relations, public relations/marketing, and conference and event planning.

"Having association members and interests around the world involves unique language, legal, educational and cultural implications often difficult to manage from a distance," AGS President, Terrance Barkan explains. "We have solved this dilemma. Working with AGS enables AH client partner associations to benefit from our unique and growing network, ensuring they are well-positioned to service their membership base at a local level."

Association Headquarters, based in Mt. Laurel, NJ, is a leader in the field of voluntary organization management. Celebrating 25 years, the company provides executive management, trade show management, meeting and convention planning, public relations, creative services, membership development and administrative support for trade associations and professional societies. AH is one of only six association management companies certified by the International Association of Association Management Companies (IAAMC) to ANSI standards and is accredited by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE).
