Associations and Other Groups FAQ

What is the cost benefit to us for using your management company instead of managing our own group?

While the client has to determine the cost benefit, TAI will provide detailed analyses of the method in which we will manage your account, and, in many cases, a guarantee of your reserve from the year prior to our assumption of management responsibilities. We believe that TAI is the only management company in the country to make that offer.

How will our financial assets be managed?

Any revenues managed by TAI are placed in a separate fiduciary account. Your revenues are not merged with those of other clients. In the area of health care billing, each of your members is individually protected to the full FDIC threshold. Your funds are not invested in equity or debt instruments. With your approval, funds are swept into a money market account maintained in the name of your organization and managed by TAI.

How do you set your fees - retainer? time/hourly base? or by project?

For individual projects such as health care administration, public relations, etc., our fee is based on an hourly rate.

If you are seeking complete association management services, we set our fees after an evaluation of your financial statements. The fee is based on our projection of your operating costs for the fiscal year to include all projects you are anticipating. A component of the fee is our margin. The annualized figures is then billed on a twelve month basis.

Is there a conference room or other space at TAI for board or committee meetings?

TAI has two conference rooms available for your organization to use for board or committee meetings. For larger meetings, we can also arrange for facilities in a setting more suitable.

What are the strengths of your association management company?

TAI has more than 35 years of association management experience and half of our staff have worked in an association environment.

Will my association have a dedicated executive or be assigned to a team that performs a range of functions for multiple clients?

Every TAI client is assigned a TAI Account Executive who acts as the liaison between TAI and the group's leaders. The sales, promotion and service efforts of each Account Executive are then supported by the TAI department that specializes in the area.

The Account Executive will receive staff support on sales campaigns from the TAI Group Benefit Department. To develop an aggressive membership development program, the Account Executive will turn to our Association Management Group. For assistance with the development of printed materials, the Account Executive will turn to the TAI Communications Department.
