Case Study: Society of American Military Engineers achieves intuitive, data-driven reporting and streamlined chapter and membership management with Nimble AMS

How Nimble AMS empowers associations

The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME), founded in 1920, serves 27,000 individual and 1,500 organizational members across 99 chapters supporting national defense and military construction. SAME outgrew its legacy AMS: reporting was restricted to an administrator who needed SQL to build reports, and chapter management couldn’t handle leaders with multiple roles or let chapter leaders update rosters or communicate efficiently, limiting staff and volunteer self-sufficiency.

After evaluating multiple vendors, SAME implemented Nimble AMS for its strong reporting, chapter and committee management, and payment workflows. The result: intuitive, user-friendly reports available to all staff, simplified chapter role assignment and portals that empower chapter leaders, smoother payment and membership processes, and faster support—delivering a clear technological leap and increased member engagement.
