What clients are saying
As current President of the Connecticut Society of Health Systems Pharmacists, I highly recommend ADS’s association management services to any organization seeking a high‑quality, reliable, and strategic partner. Their team consistently delivers excellence across all aspects of association support, demonstrating a level of professionalism and expertise that has significantly strengthened our operations. ADS excels in reliable event planning, managing every detail with precision and ensuring our annual conference and related activities run seamlessly. They brought fresh, innovative ideas to enhance the structure and content of our Catch the Wave conference in ways that kept it relevant, engaging, and aligned with the evolving needs of our members.
One of ADS’s greatest strengths is their strong communication skills. They keep all stakeholders informed, maintain open and transparent dialogue, and ensure tasks move forward efficiently. Their sense of accountability to board members has been invaluable—they deliver on commitments and proactively address issues before they become challenges. We have really appreciated Michelle and Gigi’s partnership in the development of board meeting and strategic planning agendas, ensuring that leadership discussions are well‑structured, goal‑oriented, and productive. Their ability to blend strategic insight with operational execution makes them a truly comprehensive partner. In every interaction, ADS demonstrates professionalism, creativity, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to helping associations thrive. For organizations seeking a dependable, forward‑thinking, and detail‑oriented association management team, ADS stands out as an outstanding choice!

Barb and Audience Development Strategies took on the NEFMA administrative affairs amid a challenging situation that got much worse with COVID-19. She was an incredible resource to the NEFMA Board, bringing initiative and creativity to the challenge of sustaining membership and sponsorships while creating virtual events. At the same time, Barb provided efficient, friendly service to the members and Board.

Barb joined our group as Executive Director about 3 years ago and brought much needed enthusiasm, fresh ideas and a willingness to do what it takes to get things done. Her organizational and financial skill set has served our group well. Her marketing of our group has brought in “good fit” new members who will be vital to the group for years to come. I highly recommend Barb to market and support your organization.
