Smithbucklin, based in Chicago, is an association management company,[1][2][3][4] founded in 1949 with secondary offices in Washington, D.C.; Old Lyme, Connecticut; St. Louis, Missouri; and San Ramon, California.[5]
William E. Smith started the company with nine client organizations—headlined by the Popcorn, Seed Pea and Frozen Potato Products Institutes—and just 22 employees.[6] On July 24, 2004, Smith died at age 90.[7]
During the Dot-com bubble of 1997–2001, some of Smithbucklin's client associations encountered "painful" financial cutbacks.[8]
On June 29, 2005, the company became employee-owned.[9][10]
In 2011, Smithbucklin contracted for 111,081 sq ft (10,319.8 m2) at Chicago's former IBM Building, 330 N. Wabash Ave., under a 15-year lease that was set to begin in 2013.[11]
