In Brief

STAT Association Management is a full service association management and marketing company founded in 1986. Originally established to provide telemarketing services for associations, our initial success led to expansion into exhibit, sponsorship and advertising sales and the establishment of STAT's meeting planning and association management divisions. Much of STAT's substantial client base is repeat customers, many of whom we have worked with for more than 15 years.

Our marketing origins keep our services focused on growth, while the depth provided by our association management knowledge helps us balance the needs of management and marketing to maximize the effectiveness of our programs.

STAT is small enough to work personally and responsively with each of our clients, while being large enough and mature enough as a business to provide all of the association management services needed to fully support your organization.
