Stop Going it alone
Association management is hard enough — you don’t have to do it on an island. We formed The CAM Collective because we believe great management companies deserve a great support system, too.
What we believe in
We heard the same pain points over and over from management company owners. So we did the novel thing…and listened.
Sharing is caring
Management company owners tell us they feel like they're "on an island." So we built a community of peers to bounce ideas off of and learn with. No matter what your challenge, one of our Members has probably handled it before so you don't have to make the same mistakes.
Have a plan
Folks told us they didn't have a good retirement option -- after 20+ years of hard work, selling to a big company that would change the name and staff didn't feel right. So we started offering Transition Planning and equity investment to our Members, so they could take some chips off the table while protecting what they'd built.
If it ain't broke...
If you've built a sizable business, chances are you're doing something right. So we've never understood why some management company buyers immediately shake things up with centralized accounting and rebranding. Our thought is...why get in the way of a good thing?
People = success
In our industry, the only assets we have are our people. Attracting, training, and retaining the best people is the only way we know to succeed in this business. And we simply refuse to work with anyone who doesn't see it that way.
Our members are growing
Our roots are in Chicago, but we quickly found like-minded people in Virginia and beyond.

The Future, USA
Membership in The Collective is by invitation only, but we’re always looking for like-minded peers
If you are a manager who wants more out of her career…
…our member companies are hiring! And training, and developing, and promoting. We only partner with companies who think of association management as a career, not a job. And with a network of member companies to work with, we can offer a path to more leadership, more autonomy, and more money.
Our mission
We exist to give management company owners another option — one that secures your future without compromising your identity and legacy
Our membership model
Joining The Collective is a two-way commitment. We commit to…
Invest with you
We invest in all of our Members by taking 50-100% ownership. This gives Founders a long-overdue payday, but also means we only succeed when our Member Companies do.
Improve with you
With new capital and new manpower, Members get a chance to start checking off the things on their "if I only had time..." list. And with a network of peers who have been there, done that, that list gets a lot easier.
Grow with you
The Collective is about growth--because in our mind, that's a much better path to financial success than cost-cutting. We want every Member Company to become a respected local leader recognized for extraordinary service.
But don't take it from us...
Every one of our Member Companies was built over decades through blood, sweat, and tears. Their leaders chose to join The Collective when they were ready to take the next step.
