Who We Are

We improve the association’s engagement with current and potential membership and elevate its standing in the marketplace. Rather than passingly addressing surface-level concerns, our goal is to help associations innovate and optimize their organization to ensure long-term success that lasts beyond our immediate collaboration. 

MORE THAN MANAGEMENT

With over twenty years of experience in association management, Grau & Associates possesses all the key resources and credentials of a larger firm, while still offering an abiding personal investment in each association we assist. Our management of large-scale international associations like Invest in the USA is complimented by our collaborations with domestic associations like the Opportunity Zone Association of America and the charity-oriented nonprofit, CANstruction, which uses installation art pieces to generate donations to community food banks. With each of our clients, we emphasize a committed, holistic approach that focuses on righting core problem areas while highlighting and stimulating potential areas of organizational growth. Importantly, we free up space for association leadership to arrive at their “next big idea” by recalibrating an organization’s daily operations towards maximum efficiency and efficacy.  Along the way, we remain an accessible, transparent, and valued partner, genuinely invested in helping each association achieve its highest goals.
