Asset Leadership Network

What Asset Leadership Network does

Asset Leadership Network (ALN) is a private non-profit trade association founded in 2014 and headquartered in Vienna, Virginia. It convenes asset management professionals across North America — and increasingly Australia, Latin America, and Africa — to promote the adoption of ISO 55000 asset management standards. ALN does not develop proprietary software; its intellectual property is the A55K Professional Certification (administered with the Andrew James Advisory Group, available in English and Spanish), the weekly ALN Th@3 web program, annual events such as the Global Asset Management Summit (April 2026) and ALN BIMstorm workshops, and an extensive content library of newsletters, papers, and a podcast.

The organization's commercial model is characteristic of a small membership association. Revenue derives from tiered organizational memberships (Patron Members and standard Members), professional training and certification fees delivered through Andrew James Advisory Group and icInfrastructure, and donations tied to event participation (typically $45–$95). Go-to-market is event-driven and community-led, leveraging Capitol Hill venues, partnerships with associations such as GFOA and NIBS, and an international alliance with Australia's Asset Management Council.

ALN serves a diverse buyer base spanning federal/state/local government agencies (DC Government Office of the CFO, Palm Beach County Water Utilities), healthcare (University Health, the first ISO 55001-certified hospital globally), education (San Juan Unified School District), large engineering and federal contractors (Jacobs, CGI Federal), and asset management service providers (ABS-QE, ONUMA, Definitive Logic). Individual practitioners are reached through the A55K certification and Senior Fellows program, while organizational members and Patron Members anchor recurring revenue and program participation.
