Etherio, a trusted partner to associations nationwide, has earned accreditation following an independent review of its operations, governance, and service standards. This recognition places Etherio among a select group of association management companies nationwide that meet the profession’s highest benchmarks.
Accreditation from the AMC Institute represents more than an achievement—it’s a mark of trust and credibility. It signals to current and prospective clients that Etherio delivers services at an elevated standard, backed by documented best practices and verified by independent evaluators.
“This accreditation isn’t a change—it’s a confirmation,” said John Flatley, Managing Director at Etherio. “It confirms the trust our clients place in us and reflects the responsibility we carry in supporting the industries, professions, and people who rely on strong associations to grow and thrive.”
Earning this distinction reinforces Etherio’s ability to support complex governance, provide strong financial oversight, and deliver on the mission-driven work that defines association leadership. According to the AMC Institute, the accreditation process is based on a standard developed under guidelines from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and includes an independent audit of documented policies and procedures.
“We’re proud of this recognition not for what it says about us—but for what it allows us to deliver with even greater clarity and confidence,” said Eric Altschul, CEO of Etherio. “Our clients represent the future of their fields. They deserve partners who show up with structure, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.”
This accreditation places Etherio among a small percentage of AMCs that have earned this distinction globally. For organizations considering new partners or reaffirming existing relationships, accreditation offers a clear signal of quality, reliability, and readiness to serve.
Among 500-plus Association Management Companies (AMC) worldwide, just 80 have achieved AMC Institute Accreditation, demonstrating the commitment and the ability to deliver the highest level of professional management services to association and not-for-profit clients. These AMCs are the recognized choice of associations and not-for-profit organizations.
“We applaud Etherio on this significant achievement,” AMC Institute Chair Nick Ruffin said. “AMC Institute accreditation requires that association management firms demonstrate adherence to operational and ethical best practices, as outlined in the AMC Institute Standard. Accreditation distinguishes Etherio’s ongoing commitment to leadership in association management.”
