Co-Founder at Starkweather Association Services

Melinda Starkweather, co-founder of Starkweather Association Services, has been providing innovative technical and strategic services to associations, political campaigns and non-profits since 1991.

Additionally, Starkweather provides services to move our associations through the capability maturity model to reduce risk, create continuity of knowledge and operational efficiency.
