Starkweather Association Services

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Starkweather Association Services works specifically with membership associations that run on the YourMembership (YM) platform, positioning itself as a long-standing third-party partner to YM users. Clients named in its materials include SMF International, NAGC, NPA, and the Aluminum Association, indicating a focus on trade and professional associations that need dedicated support for their association management system (AMS) rather than generalist marketing clients. The team is small, structured around named roles such as Technical Account Managers, a Director of Online Learning, a Senior Director of Operations, and a Software Engineer, reflecting a consulting-and-support model rather than a large production agency. Services described include AMS implementation and optimization, LMS implementation, technical discovery work, business process modeling, and change readiness/change management support for organizations adopting or migrating association technology. API development is offered for integration projects, illustrated by a described project connecting two systems for a client. SEO optimization is listed among the technical services alongside website design and GA4 reporting, and the agency also provides training and online learning resources, including a recurring email-based skills series and a video library explaining its process. Additional resources referenced include a status page for YourMembership, a change-management offering branded Cirrus Change, and consultation booking for association leaders seeking help with technology adoption, reporting, or staff training on the YM platform.
