Our approach to Association Management is such that as an extension of your board, we are continuously looking for opportunities to improve practices, increase financial stability, and elevate member benefits and engagement.

Alberta Society of Dermatology

When ASD partnered with BUKSA in 2021, the organization faced low member engagement and was managed by a small group of physicians and support staff, with limited infrastructure and oversight.

BUKSA’s Impact:

  • Strategic Transformation: Introduced formalized processes, updated bylaws, and implemented transparent governance—building long-term stability and renewed member trust.

  • Membership Revival: Launched engagement strategies, revamped communications, refreshed the website, and reenergized the annual meeting.

  • Innovative Recognition: Created new member initiatives, including an annual Award of Recognition, celebrating leadership within Alberta’s dermatology community.

  • Financial Growth: Increased sponsorship revenue by 92% (from $32.5k to $62.5k in just three years), while designing new strategic funding models.

With BUKSA as its backbone, ASD has emerged as a revitalized organization - more connected, strategic, and positioned for future growth.

A regional medical specialty association with a dedicated but small membership faced a familiar challenge: limited time, stretched resources, and a growing need to strengthen its role in professional advocacy, education, and member support. Run primarily by administrative staff and physicians volunteering their time, the organization was ready for change. 

BUKSA stepped in with a full transition plan grounded in best practices. We introduced clear governance structures, transparent reporting, and strong financial oversight to lay a solid foundation. From there, our team re-energized member engagement through an updated website, revitalized annual meeting, improved communications, and the introduction of meaningful initiatives—such as an Award of Recognition and a new education fund to support continuing professional development. 

We also brought a disciplined, strategic approach to industry engagement and sponsorship, securing sustainable funding that enabled the organization to grow its programs while maintaining its independence and integrity. Today, this specialty association is thriving—with increased member involvement, greater visibility, and a strengthened capacity to fulfill its mission. 

CHSF: 

A national health-focused organization supporting clinicians and researchers working on a widely underdiagnosed dermatological condition was at a crossroads. After a shift in management, the organization needed a partner to stabilize operations, support its mission, and grow its reach within the medical community. 

BUKSA stepped in to provide full-service association management. Within just a few years, we implemented a suite of foundational improvements: modernized bylaws and governance structures, streamlined financial systems, and clear reporting processes. These changes created transparency, accountability, and operational ease. 

 
Beyond infrastructure, we helped the organization significantly expand its visibility and impact. Our team led refreshed marketing efforts—including a new website, video content, strategic social media, and targeted awareness campaigns like an annual HS Awareness Week. We also developed educational resources to support clinicians and engage healthcare professionals across disciplines. 

 
The result: a stronger, more visible, and financially sustainable organization—better positioned to support healthcare providers, raise awareness, and drive change for a historically underserved patient population.
