Strategic Association Management (SAM) has been selected as the association management company and staffing solution for the Preventative Automotive Maintenance Association (PAMA), a nonprofit trade organization representing more than 4,500 automotive maintenance centers across the United States, Mexico, Canada and beyond.

Founded in 1987, PAMA provides members with the tools, education and advocacy needed to professionally and successfully deliver convenient automotive oil changes and preventive maintenance services. The association serves as a leading resource for the fast lube industry, supporting technical training, business development and public education on the importance of regular vehicle maintenance.

"Partnering with SAM marks an exciting new chapter for PAMA," said PAMA President Jason Lyon. "With SAM's expertise and strategic approach, we're well-positioned to expand our reach, strengthen member engagement and continue leading the maintenance industry.”

SAM will provide a full range of management services, including executive leadership, board and governance support, financial management and communications. SAM Account Executive Mary Beth Kiser, CAE, will serve as Executive Director, leading the internal staff team and providing strategic and operational support to the volunteer board.

"PAMA's leadership and commitment to the industry set the standard for excellence," said Megan Woodburn, CAE, SAM Founder and co-CEO. "We're proud to partner in strengthening its operations and supporting the professionals who keep this industry moving forward."
