About

Association  Management & Governmental Affairs Consulting

Associations and other group efforts organized to make a difference many times require more dedicated time and attention than volunteers can provide.  After working with State government, not-for-profits and professional associations, and in the local, state and federal legislative and regulatory processes, Blake R. Jeffery Inc. reflects staff who have built the awareness and experience to help others achieve success in their organizational endeavors.   In fact, the firm is dedicated to using its 21 years of experience, national state and local resources and contacts, and state of the art technology to ensure success for its clients.

Blake R. Jeffery Inc.’s principal client since 1999 is the Indiana Cast Metals Association (INCMA).  INCMA reflects a group of more than 70 foundries and foundry related businesses formed in 1990 to unite the industry to make sure their voice would be heard within the industry and by decision makers in Indiana and in Washington.  In 2001, we contracted with the Indiana Medical Device Manufacturers Council (IMDMC) formed in 1991 and dedicated to its 60 member companies working together to network, educate and enhance the medical device community in Indiana, throughout the Midwest and in Washington, D.C.  Finally, in 2002, we formed an executive management relationship with the Governmental Affairs Society of Indiana (GASI), dedicated to promoting professionalism and ethics within their 235 individual members representing nearly forty percent of the entire Indiana public affairs community.

In 2004, Blake Jeffery was awarded the Certified Association Executive (CAE) professional certification by the American Society of Association Executives(ASAE). A CAE is a certification earned by working in the industry for years combined with 75 hours of continuing education and passing a four hour professional exam.  The designation is held by less than 5% of the association professionals in America and is reflective of broad knowledge and experience in professional association management.
