Why Choose TSO?
Cost Effective
It is more cost effective to engage a management company to run your association rather than hiring a full-time staff, since you only pay for the staff time we spend on your association. TSO staff expertise can be shared by several clients, so your costs are lower, and your funds go farther.
Professional Service
The Sanford Organization has extensive experience in event planning, promotions, membership services and development, and more, so there is greater efficiency, leadership, and professionalism than most volunteers can provide.
Recognized Leader
Over the years, TSO has established itself as a recognized leader in the association-management industry while developing longstanding relationships with contracted suppliers of goods and services in the conference and trade show arenas. As a result, negotiating attractive contracts and making preferential arrangements has become a standard.
Ideal Location
Located in Wauconda, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, TSO has an ideal location--close enough to Chicago to take advantage of all its resources, but far enough from it to gain the economic advantage of low overhead.
Fully Accredited
As a testament to The Sanford Organization’s commitment and ability to deliver service, quality, and excellence, TSO has attained accreditation from the AMC Institute through a Standard recognized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The AMC Institute accreditation program, acknowledged as the most demanding and comprehensive in the industry, is a voluntary process that requires thorough documentation of effective systems and procedures, as well as an independent review to demonstrate and verify that TSO meets or exceeds the ANSI/AMC Institute Standard of Good Practices for the Association Management Industry.
