The first thing(s) I noticed about AMPED (and you will too)

buddy

When you take a new position at a new organization, you’re always filled with mixed emotions. You’re excited for the new opportunities and challenges that await, and, at the same time, maybe just a little unsure of making the change from your previous position. The fear of the unknown has a way of constantly reminding you that you’re only human. Anyone who has ever started a new job can attest to feeling so many mixed emotions that you’re not quite sure of how you truly feel for the first few days.

I was no different when I made the switch earlier this week from a position with Omnipress, a great organization in the association industry, to AMPED Association Management, an emerging leader in the association management industry. I was fortunate to have an existing relationship with many of AMPED’s great staff, but, admittedly, there was still some of that nervousness of making a big career change.

Here I sit at the end of just my second day with the organization, and I couldn’t be happier. How was the team here able to welcome someone so quickly and make him feel at home?

Teamwork: The very first meeting I was a part of here at AMPED was a weekly team meeting of the entire staff. Everyone welcomed me with a big smile and got right to work. We went around the room and shared the three main things that each person was working on. Before the first few people were finished, several others had raised their hands and volunteered to help with their projects. Now remember, these are people who already have full plates, voluntarily offering help to fellow coworkers in order to get the job done correctly and on-time. Incredible!

Pride: One of the greatest things I’ve witnessed is the bottomless pride that everyone takes in their work. In the world of association management companies, it’s all about representing the client associations and making them look good. I quickly noticed the pride that AMPED takes in making this happen. For AMPED, it’s more than “client work.” It’s our work. We don’t represent your association. We are your association.

Good People: This one sounds like something a new employee at any company would say, but there’s a distinct difference when it comes to our staff. Each and every person who works here, full or part-time, is a genuinely good person. They care about each other, their clients and the industry as a whole, and truly want to make everyone around them better. When’s the last time you were able to say every person you work with on a daily basis is truly a good person?

Do you want to know the best part of the good people who work here? They’re all incredibly talented! Each has his or her own area of expertise that contributes to the overall skill-set of the staff. Not any single person is more important -- or treated that way -- than the other. It truly is a team atmosphere of some of the best people you’ll meet.

While these are just a few reasons I feel at home here, they’re also why associations choose to work with AMPED in the first place, and continue to do so year after year. If you or your association has ever considered a partnership with AMPED, I strongly suggest you give our team the chance to make you feel at home, as well. I have no doubt that you’ll quickly see why the AMPED team is different in the most positive way possible.
