Founded 2026
Real experience. Real results. One clear mission.
KAMNS was founded in Ohio in 2026 by Scott Kettles and Lynn Chaney — two professionals with a clear focus on smaller and mid-size associations. That's where their careers were built, where their networks run deep, and where they know they can make the biggest difference.
Scott and Lynn bring hands-on expertise across association management, member engagement, governance, events, and advocacy. They built KAMNS to put that depth of knowledge to work for associations that need a trusted partner, not just a vendor.
KAMNS is grounded in the belief that great association management is about relationships — with boards, members, sponsors, and the communities associations serve. That belief shapes everything we do.
"Every association — regardless of size — deserves a strategic partner who is as invested in its success as its own board."
