Association Vision is a public relations, publishing, and marketing company that specializes in working with associations. Founded in 2000, Association Vision has served more than 40 association and corporate clients. Many clients choose Association Vision to represent them on a retainer basis, while others hire our company for specific communication projects.

In public relations, we believe in leveraging the powerful resources of association members to generate positive publicity for their professions and industries. We help associations define their audiences and messages, run national public relations campaigns, conduct communication audits, produce public relations media kits, provide media training, pitch the media, plan special events to generate media coverage, write speeches, and offer an array of other services.

Our company business model provides senior-level communications expertise at rates far below those of large public relations agencies. Association Vision is the 25th largest privately-owned public relations agency in the Washington, DC metropolitan region as ranked by the Washington Business Journal. Yet we operate with a business model that focuses resources on client service instead of company overhead.

In publishing, we offer a wide range of services, including publishing audits, readership surveys, magazine and newsletter launches and business plans, freelance writing, redesigns, media kits, advertising sales, and complete publishing outsourcing services.

In marketing, we develop marketing messages, create marketing pieces ranging from convention brochures to membership promotions, write creative marketing copy, and handle design, production, and printing of marketing pieces as needed.

We even provide interim communication services when a key staff member is out on leave for a few weeks or months.

Association Vision President Al Rickard, CAE, has more than 23 years of experience as a senior-level communications executive. He worked at five different associations before launching Association Vision in 2000. Each of the Association Vision executives has many years of experience in association communications with multiple organizations. This provides a depth and breadth of expertise to meet the unique communication needs of associations.
