PSV’s management firm, Ruggles Service Corporation, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. Ruggles, which was founded by Mr. John A. Hinckley in 1974, specializes in managing national and state medical associations.
Ruggles is a full-service company that handles membership, meeting planning, exhibits, marketing, communications, finances and information technology. What sets Ruggles apart from all other association management companies (AMCs) is that all client-partners are medical associations, which leads to best practices. Nearly all technology is built and managed in-house such as the website, membership database, exhibit database, abstract system, meeting and membership apps, digital posters and more.
Based in Richmond, VA, the company is managed by John’s son, Stewart A. Hinckley, and 20 team members.
