Who we are
A management partner for volunteer-led organizations.
Parrish TAS is an association management company. We provide the experienced staff an association needs to run well, without the cost and turnover of building an in-house team.
You choose the scope, from a single service to full management. Your board stays in charge of strategy and policy. We handle the operations.
Solve common association challenges
-
Volunteers stretched thin.
When board members handle the administration, strategy suffers. A dedicated association manager takes on daily administration, member service, and board support, with a designated backup for coverage.
-
Knowledge lost at every turnover.
Officers change every year. Documented processes and organized records keep your association running smoothly through each transition.
-
Unclear responsibilities.
Tasks slip when no one owns them. We agree on scope up front, so everyone knows who handles what from day one.
