The American Management Association (AMA), based in New York City, is a corporate training and consulting group that provides a variety of educational and management development services to businesses, government agencies and individuals. The non-profit membership organization offers business courses in communication, leadership, marketing, sales, human resources, finance and accounting. Founded in 1913, as the National Association of Corporation Schools, the AMA became the American Management Association in 1923.

In 1963, the AMA established Operation Enterprise, a program designed for high school and college students.[1] Also in 1963, the AMA launched AMACOM, its book publishing division. The current president of the American Management Association is Edward T. Reilly.[2] [3]
