| What
is value-added service? The dictionary meaning
would define it as those services enhanced through
a contributing force. The
contributing force that will enhance the association
experience is found internally at AH and in
its teams. The following lists the value-added
benefits of partnering with AH.
- AH provides an association
leader, not just an administrator, as an
executive director.

and societies of different sizes. Associations
