Strategic Partners

AM FM has two types of strategic affiliation: Association Partnerships and Corporate Alliances.

AM FM Association Partnership Program

AM FM strongly believes in supporting professional associations and building mutually beneficial partnerships to help associations offer more value to their members, support their profession and provide quality continuing education.

Through the Association Partnership Program, we offer a very select group of associations a special discount to their members when they attend select continuing education programs – including workshops, programs and even customized corporate training.

As part of the partnership model, we also offer the partnering association a revenue sharing incentive and many other benefits when their members attend our continuing education programs. To find out more information about the AM FM Association Partnership Program, please contact Marcia O’Connor at moconnor@amfmconsulting.com or by phone at (416) 746-5111 ext 201.

Current partners include:

The Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) is the voice of the engineering profession in Ontario. OSPE advances the professional and economic interests of its members by advocating with governments, offering valued member services, and providing opportunities for ongoing professional development.
