“When BUKSA took over management of the Alberta Society of Dermatology, it was like flipping a switch. Suddenly, we had structure, clear communication, and consistent systems in place. They brought stability and professionalism to an organization that had been operating without a strong foundation. It became easier to lead, make decisions, and trust that things were being handled with care and integrity.”

ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT
FAQs
From where we work, to how we work - your top questions, answered.
An Association Management Company (AMC) is a professional firm that provides administrative, strategic, and operational support to associations, nonprofits, and member-based organizations. BUKSA acts as a full-service partner — handling day-to-day operations, financial management, member engagement, board support, and more.
The most effective AMCs become your board's strategic partner. While board members juggle professional responsibilities with organizational duties, strategic AMCs bring dedicated focus and specialized expertise to drive real growth, whatever that means to you.
They strategize fundraising campaigns that resonate, develop programs that build community, create engagement initiatives that expand professional reach, and execute strategies that bring recognition to your cause – all while keeping the day-to-day association operations flowing smoothly.
BUKSA serves as a true strategic partner to your board, bringing focused expertise to drive growth. From fundraising and member engagement to community-building and brand recognition, we deliver tailored solutions that elevate your organization.
We work with a wide range of associations, including those led by volunteer boards and those with limited internal staff. Our clients span industries such as healthcare, engineering, education, and professional services.
Volunteer-led boards often have big responsibilities but limited time. Here is how we can support your board:
- Coordinating meetings & events
- Supporting committee initiatives
- Bookkeeping
- Bylaw compliance
- Marketing
- Membership management
- Partner and sponsor programs
- Strategic counsel
Yes! We provide the strategic business supports that complement your full-time or fractional CEO. We appreciate that some Boards prefer to retain a CEO directly but still need assistance with many aspects of the ongoing association work. As your Secretariat, we look after the daily details so your CEO can focus on the high-level strategic goals of the organization.
Yes. We manage membership databases, renewal campaigns, welcome and onboarding communications, and member outreach (like newsletters and award programs). Our goal is to keep your members informed, engaged, and invested in the organization year-round.
Absolutely. We provide full financial administration — including budgeting, expense tracking, invoicing, and monthly reporting. We use smart tools like QuickBooks Online, Plooto, and Hubdoc to keep everything transparent, audit-ready, and easy to approve.
We begin with a discovery session to understand your structure, goals, and pain points. From there, we build a transition and service plan tailored to your needs — including system handovers, database reviews, and board orientation. You’ll meet your dedicated BUKSA team before we begin day-to-day operations.
Our pricing is customized to match the scope and needs of your project and team. We offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to learn about your goals and recommend the right level of support. From there, you’ll receive a transparent quote.
