By Lori Gordon, COO, Association Headquarters As AMC community leaders, each of us is always seeking at least one answer of "yes" to an important question... For example, we are always seeking to attract and retain top talent, we need affirmation from potential clients that they will move forward in engaging our services, we need engagement with our partners or next generation on strategic planning for the future of our companies, and we need a "yes" from our client partners when we are offering to explore new services as we continue to pioneer new operational models within association management.

When we were deciding how best to reveal AMCI's new look and logo, we thought that the design should be displayed as a mosaic to illustrate the strength and vibrancy of each members' contribution to AMCI and the AMC industry. We also wanted to introduce the new look in a way that showcased what we know -- that collectively, we are what makes the AMCI brand so special and unique. We want to thank our member companies for submitting their logos for us to use in this special demonstration at AMCs Engaged! Additionally, we want to thank the members of the AMCI Brand and Visual Identity Task Force for working so hard on this endeavor. We hope you all like this modern, dynamic look and begin to use the new creative immediately. To make it easy for members, we have a the Brand Toolkit under the Members Only tab to download the logo in various formats. Please note that you must be logged in as a member in order to access the Brand Toolkit.
