Strategic Association Management (SAM) was recently selected as the association management company and staffing solution for Collaborative Divorce Texas (CDT), a nonprofit organization that empowers couples and families to resolve divorce through interest-based negotiation rather than traditional litigation. 

CDT has been training professionals in the collaborative divorce process since it was first introduced in Texas in 1999. Members are committed to helping couples and families develop options and solutions that best fit the competing and shared needs and interests of the parties and children. Additionally, CDT provides the public with resources to identify collaborative divorce attorneys and understand the benefits of the process.

"SAM is honored to partner with Collaborative Divorce Texas to support its mission of offering a more compassionate and constructive approach to divorce," Megan Woodburn, CAE, SAM Founder and co-CEO, said. "We are excited to bring our expertise in association management to help further the organization’s impact and ensure it can continue to provide essential services to families and professionals throughout Texas."

SAM will deliver a comprehensive range of services, including executive, board and governance, financial management, communications and sponsorship support. SAM Account Executive Shari Noonan, CAE, CMP, will serve as Executive Director, leading the internal staff team and providing strategic and operational support to the volunteer board.
