Impact's History

Impact Association Management has been providing top-notch association management services since 2006. The company was founded by Chief Executive Officer, Jodi Fisher, as a virtual assistant firm to support both small businesses and associations across the US. In an effort to better serve its growing client base, Impact later restructured as a full-service association management firm specializing in medium-sized associations successfully growing membership, coordinating revenue-generating meetings and events, implementing efficient and goal-driven processes, and more.

Now expanded into a robust team, Impact consists of passionate, experienced association professionals who are dedicated to serving Impact’s clients, helping them to improve processes, drive strategic initiatives, and ultimately grow their organizations. Impact is a boutique firm – large enough to offer deep, specialized skillsets yet small enough where clients have access to C-Suite. At Impact, every client matters, and every client is incredibly valued. Our team pride themselves on developing great relationships with their clients so leadership and members truly enjoy partnering with Impact.
