  • Board partnership & reporting
  • Staff and vendor oversight
  • Strategic planning support
  • Continuity between board meetings

Association Management

A dedicated, professional home base for your association. A business address, telephone and communications center, mail and email handling, member, sponsor and speaker databases, secure records storage, and third-party vendor management — so your leadership can focus on the big picture.

  • Board & governance — meeting attendance, minutes, reporting, and execution of board initiatives
  • Financial management — AP/AR, bank reconciliation, deposits, monthly QuickBooks reporting with your bookkeeper, credit card processing
  • Committee coordination — administrative backing for chairs plus on-site support at committee events
  • Digital presence & web — WordPress design and maintenance, online newsletters, site updates, meeting registration setup
  • Partnership & sponsorship — support for the Partnership Chair, solicitation, and partner retention

Comprehensive Event Planning

End-to-end logistics for every kind of gathering. Over 25 years coordinating board retreats of two to conferences of 2,000 — single-day seminars through multi-day events around the world — so your board can focus on mission and content.

  • Site selection and contract negotiation
  • Meeting space logistics — room layouts, A/V, and menu planning
  • Speaker management — confirmations, handouts, and A/V needs
  • Registration through deposits, rosters, and badge production
  • On-site oversight, event graphic design, and CE credit processing
  • Post-event surveys to measure success and gather insights

Strategic Marketing & Communications

Guidance through the entire creative process to build a unified, compelling presence — whether you're refreshing existing materials or building a brand identity from scratch.

  • Marketing strategy tailored to your organizational goals
  • Graphic & web design — brand assets, print and digital collateral, responsive websites
  • Digital communications — email campaigns and newsletters
  • Social media strategy, implementation, and ongoing management
About

Kristin Bonney (Prine)

Principal · Sarasota, Florida

Kristin has spent 25+ years in association management — running operations, supporting volunteer boards, managing members, and producing the meetings that hold an organization together. She founded Falke Association Consulting to give small and mid-size associations that same level of leadership without the cost of a full-time executive.

She is a straight shooter. If something in your governance, budget, or member experience isn't working, you'll hear it plainly and you'll get a practical plan to fix it. Boards keep her around because she is genuinely easy to work with: responsive, organized, and calm when things get busy.

Based in Sarasota, Florida, Kristin works with associations locally and nationwide.
