Association Mashup Episode 3: A Perspective on Mergers & Acquisitions in the Association Sector

December 22, 2021 Maddie Grant

This episode features guest Ben Muscolino, an association industry expert and CEO of AMS Geeks and Breezio, who has many years of deep industry knowledge around the mergers and acquisitions in the industry, particularly related to AMS and community platforms.  In our conversation, we dig into what culture and tech might have to do with M&A, we poke a bear or two, and brainstorm some ideas for the future of the sector.

Disclosure: Both Cimatri and PROPEL were acquired by Blue Cypress in 2020. Blue Cypress and its companies are part of the Evergreen Movement.
