Treasury Management Association of Chicago

What Treasury Management Association of Chicago does

Treasury Management Association of Chicago (TMAC) is a nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1974 that serves corporate treasury and financial management professionals in the greater Chicagoland area. It is affiliated with the national Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) and offers annual membership at $400/year (or $800/year bundled with the Windy City Summit), plus reduced-rate academic memberships. Members gain access to 6-8 monthly in-person educational meetings, the annual Windy City Summit conference held at Chicago's Navy Pier (relocating to the Sheraton Hotel in 2027) with more than 100 educational sessions, an annual Bankers Day networking event, a public job board, a transition support program, and a semester-long internship program run with Dominican University's Brennan School of Business.

TMAC does not build or sell a distinct technology product. Its digital infrastructure is association management software from YourMembership.com, which provides the member portal, event registration, and Facebook and LinkedIn OAuth login. The organization's technology footprint is therefore limited to standard AMS capabilities plus social authentication integrations; there is no public API, no SDK, and no proprietary AI/ML component.

TMAC is governed by an elected Board of Directors with officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary) and committee chairs, and it is operationally supported by GSS association management services. Revenue is generated from individual membership dues and Windy City Summit registration and sponsorship, with no external investment, no parent company, and no public listing. Recent strategic activity has centered on professionalizing summit operations (a new conference management company from 2024), upgrading the 2027 summit venue, and refreshing board leadership for the 2026/2027 term.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Institute of CPAs (AICPA): Largest US professional association for CPAs. Broadly incumbent because it serves a wider finance professional base with overlapping education, certification, and conference products that compete with TMAC's programming at the edges.
• CFA Institute: Global professional association for investment management professionals with the CFA designation. Broadly incumbent because it competes for corporate finance talent's continuing-education spend and brand affiliation through a similar membership-plus-conference-plus-credential model.
• Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA): Professional association for state and local government finance officers. Broadly incumbent because it serves a parallel finance professional audience with the same dues-plus-conference-plus-certification model, and competes indirectly for similar sponsor pools.
• American Bankers Association (ABA): National trade association for the US banking industry. Broadly incumbent because bank-side treasury and cash management professionals often participate in ABA programming, and ABA conferences/sponsorships compete for the same Chicago financial-services audiences that TMAC engages.

Others

• NACHA (The Electronic Payments Association): Governing body of the ACH network and broader payments industry association. Adjacent because many TMAC member companies' treasury functions are directly affected by NACHA rules, and NACHA events/sponsorships compete for the same corporate treasury mindshare and sponsorship budgets.
• Turnaround Management Association (TMA): Global professional association for corporate restructuring, turnaround, and distressed-debt professionals. Adjacent because it serves a finance professional audience (including many corporate treasurer-adjacent roles) with a similar chapter-based, conference-driven model, and competes for sponsor dollars from the same Chicago financial community.

Direct peers

• Financial Executives International (FEI): US professional association for senior financial executives (CFOs, controllers, treasurers). Highly comparable to TMAC because it serves an overlapping corporate finance audience with membership dues, local chapter programming, and an annual conference.
• Association for Financial Professionals (AFP): National professional association for treasury and finance professionals; TMAC's explicit strategic affiliate and the organization that owns the CTP certification TMAC supports. Direct comparable because it serves the same professional population with a similar membership-plus-conference model, just at national scale.
• IMA (Institute of Management Accountants): Global professional association for management accountants and financial professionals. Comparable to TMAC because of similar membership-based revenue model, continuing education (CMA credential), local chapter programming, and an annual conference serving a closely adjacent finance professional audience.
• The Risk Management Association (RMA): Member-driven professional association for risk, credit, and treasury professionals in financial services. Comparable because it serves treasury-adjacent professionals with a similar dues-plus-conference model and chapter structure, and often shares member personas with TMAC.
