Diversified Management Services Celebrates 25 Years of Service

2015 marks a milestone anniversary for Diversified Management Services (DMS) – 25 years of providing exceptional service. DMS, an AMCI Accredited AMC has accumulated a rich history of serving non-profits over that time.  In the early 1890s DMS’s parent organization, the Iowa Savings and Loan League, was founded. Fast forward 90 years to the early 1980s, a period of time which brought high inflation and extraordinarily high interest rates. The Iowa Savings and Loan League President and Board of Directors devised a plan to keep the association viable in the declining economy by turning it’s subsidiary, S&L Services, into an association management company. In 1990 Diversified Management Services, Inc. was born with a stand-alone staff of six with the goal of providing dedicated management services to non-profit trade associations and professional societies.

"Over the past 25 years, DMS has had the privilege to deliver exceptional service to nearly 50 associations," said Kate Banasiak, president & CEO of Diversified Management Services. "Today we serve 19 associations and foundations and we have represented over half of those entities for over 10 years."
