Jaffe Management

What Jaffe Management does

Jaffe Management, Inc. is a founder-owned Association Management Company (AMC) headquartered in New York City, founded in 2007 by David Jaffe, CAE. The firm provides outsourced comprehensive management services to professional, trade, and nonprofit associations, functioning as the client's de facto staff layer rather than a software vendor. Core offerings span headquarters office support, meeting and event services, volunteer development, membership administration, website design and updates, social media and newsletter production, member communications, and financial services including bookkeeping and 990 support.

The underlying operating model is a shared services platform: roughly 60 association management professionals serve more than 50 client associations across offices in New York, Plymouth (Minnesota), and Charlotte (North Carolina), with a typical engagement assigning three dedicated staff (executive director, program associate, bookkeeper) to each client. Technology is built on standard industry tools (WordPress, Constant Contact, MailChimp, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and association databases), with no disclosed proprietary platform or AI capabilities. The firm is AMC Institute accredited under the ANSI/AMC Institute Standard of Good Practices.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual management fees under custom-quoted subscriptions, supplemented by professional services revenue from event execution and financial oversight. Customer segments include professional and trade associations, nonprofit organizations, and vertical-specific bodies in healthcare, legal, engineering, HR, construction management, fundraising, and customer experience. Distribution is sales-led and consultative, targeting enterprise and chapter-level associations through direct outreach, referrals, and content marketing. The firm expanded via the 2019 acquisition of IntrinXec Management, Inc. (Minnesota), which continues to operate under its retained brand.
