MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - The North American Power Sweeping Association (NAPSA) just announced a brand new headquarters and a new management company to help ensure it has a bright and successful future.

Beginning in December, Association Headquarters, Inc. (AH), an association management company with more than 30 years of experience, will take over the day-to-day administrative duties of NAPSA. This new strategic partnership will help NAPSA to achieve its goals of increasing visibility, expanding membership recruitment and development, and bringing more benefits to its members.

A leader in the association and society management industry since 1978, AH's team of more than 130 association management experts is poised to bring more benefits, education and support to the NAPSA Board, its members, and to the general public. AH's services include association management, convention management, public relations, government relations, creative services, Web site services, industry standardization/certification programs, and administrative support.

Current NAPSA administrative director, Amy Allen, who has been the face of the organization, will play a pivotal role in the transition. AH staff member Sarah Gazi will serve as NAPSA's new executive director.

In this role, Gazi will oversee all activities including budgeting, financial management, staff oversight, membership recruitment and retention, publicity and new program development. She will also work in concert with the board and its committees and act as the liaison for members and the public. Gazi has extensive experience in association management and currently serves as executive director for a National Trade Association.
