Section council members are selected based on their experience and leadership as AMC executives.
McLean, who has nearly two decades of experience in associations, opened REM Association Services in 1996. The firm delivers full-service management to three associations and consults with several others. McLean is a registered lobbyist on Capitol Hill, provides management services and consults on association program development and strategic planning.

AMCs are for-profit businesses that often serve as the client association’s headquarters, and provide leadership, professional management and administrative services. AMCs in the United States manage budgets exceeding $2 billion collectively. The overhead costs for the professional offices are shared by other associations and societies that are the AMC’s clients, increasing their resources and capabilities without major capital investment. Based on the concept of shared resources, an AMC provides volunteer organizations with the expertise they need when they need it. The AMC assigns executives and administrators to conduct the association’s day-to-day operations.
