ANDAMOS México

What ANDAMOS México does

ANDAMOS México is a nonprofit civil association (Asociación Civil, A.C.) headquartered in Monterrey, Nuevo León, that operates as a national community and training provider for leaders of business, professional, and philanthropic associations across Mexico. Founded in 2011 under its legal name Asociación Nacional de Dirigentes de Asociaciones de México, A.C., the organization has built a 15-year track record serving association directors, executives, and board members. Its core offerings are training programs, paid workshops (priced between $3,500 and $34,500 MXN), and a recurring national congress (priced $1,790–$8,950 MXN). No proprietary technology platform is operated; programmatic content is delivered through conventional in-person and digital workshop formats.

The organization's business model relies on three revenue streams: membership engagement (implicit in program participation), paid workshop registrations, and congress ticket sales. It supplements program revenue through institutional partnerships with academic, corporate, and government stakeholders. Notable partners include Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM) for academic content, corporate supporters such as HEB, COPARMEX NL, and Fundación Deacero, and government collaboration with the Secretaría de Igualdad e Inclusión of Nuevo León. The 2025 launch of Fundación ANDAMOS created a foundation arm to extend capacity-building work into civil society organizations (OSCs), broadening the mission beyond traditional association membership.

Customer segments are concentrated among directors and executives of Mexican business chambers, professional associations, and philanthropic foundations, with growing outreach into OSCs via the foundation arm. The organization does not disclose audited financials, headcount, or member counts. Its AI footprint is limited to internal use of third-party consumer tools (ChatGPT, Canva, Captions) and to teaching these tools inside its workshop catalog — it does not develop, train, or commercialize proprietary AI models.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ASAE (American Society of Association Executives): ASAE is the leading US professional membership society for association executives, offering credentialing, training, and a large annual conference. It is the closest international analog to ANDAMOS Mexico's mission of professionalizing association leadership.
• BoardSource: BoardSource provides training, certification, and resources for nonprofit board members in the US. Its Formación de Consejeros-style board education programs and governance content directly mirror ANDAMOS's Programa Formación de Consejeros.
• American Society for Association Executives Foundation: The ASAE Foundation conducts research, scholarships, and convenings for the association sector, much like Fundación ANDAMOS delivers scholarship-funded training for OSCs through partnership alliances in Mexico.
• Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP): AFP is the global professional association for fundraising professionals, providing certification, conferences, and training. Comparable to ANDAMOS's role as a membership body that delivers executive development for a specific professional community (fundraising vs. association leadership).

Emerging players

• INCAE Business School: Latin America's top-tier business school offering executive education, leadership programs, and certificate courses. Comparable as a Latin American executive training provider that could expand into the association leadership niche ANDAMOS serves.

Broad incumbents

• National Council of Nonprofits: US-based network of nonprofit organizations providing training, advocacy, and capacity-building resources. Comparable as a broader-incumbent that supports association-style capacity building at scale in a different geography.
• Tecnológico de Monterrey - Educación Continua: Tecnológico de Monterrey's continuing education division offers executive programs, certificates, and workshops across Mexico. It is a credible competitor for ANDAMOS's paid training products given its brand and geographic coverage.

Regional players

• COPARMEX (Confederación Patronal de la República Mexicana): Mexico's leading employer federation running extensive training and leadership programs for business leaders across Mexico. ANDAMOS's training topics (governance, leadership, membership) overlap with COPARMEX's executive education offerings.
• Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía (CEMEFI): CEMEFI is the leading Mexican civil society support organization promoting philanthropy and OSC strengthening. It overlaps with Fundación ANDAMOS's mission of professionalizing OSCs and convening companies and civil society.

Others

• Kellen Company (Association Management): Kellen provides association management, event, and training services to membership organizations globally. Comparable as an enabler/partner for the kind of association training and event delivery ANDAMOS offers to Mexican associations.
