For association leaders who know their AMS can do more
AMS Success is a personalized program that blends embedded expertise, a comprehensive playbook, and an exclusive community to help you transform your AMS into a system that staff, members, and leadership will love.
Without starting over, overwhelming staff, or breaking the bank.
Does this sound familiar?
You’ve launched – maybe a month ago, maybe two years ago.
After some initial excitement, the momentum has faded. Staff have gone back to workarounds. Tickets continue to pile up. Leadership has tuned out.
Your AMS feels like "just a database" instead of the system your team hoped for.
You’re not alone and it’s not your fault.
The AMS Success Program was built to help you overcome these common obstacles that keep you from getting the most out of your AMS:
- Staff still use workarounds and resist the AMS
- Leadership questions the ROI of your AMS investment
- You’re caught between strategic goals and daily chaos
- No clear AMS ownership or governance
- Always reacting, never able to plan or get ahead
- System feels more like a burden than a solution
- Resource gaps and vendor limitations
What is AMS Success?
Your personalized path to AMS success
AMS Success is not just another vendor helpdesk or support retainer.
It’s a flexible, personalized program that helps you define your vision of AMS success and then provides the expertise, playbook, and support you need to get there.
You choose the path that best fits your needs. Whether you’re focused on adoption, reducing staff strain, aligning systems with strategy, or looking to fill critical resource gaps, Achurch Consulting becomes an extension of your team to make it happen.

Testimonials
Hi, I’m Carolyn Hook, Membership Outreach and Database Manager at the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT).
We’re a small-staff nonprofit, and when we realized our AMS was about to lose technical support, we had no choice but to make a move. The challenge? I was the only person available to manage the project, and it had to be done in five months—not the typical 12 or more.
I was excited—we needed a better system, both for our internal efficiency and for member service. But I also knew it was going to consume nearly all of my time. That’s when I brought in Achurch Consulting.
They were recommended by another consultant who knew we needed someone who really understands the realities of small staff associations—and who had experience with our specific AMS platform. And they did.
But what stood out even more was how they worked with us. They let us reassess as we went, adapt the scope, and pay in phases. That flexibility was key for staying on budget and still getting it done.
