SPUC’s management firm, Ruggles Service Corporation, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. Ruggles, 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 and information technology. What sets Ruggles apart from all other association management companies (AMCs) is that all client-partners are medical associations, leading to best practices. Nearly all technology is built and managed in-house such as SPUC’s website, membership database, exhibit database, abstract system, meeting and membership apps, digital posters and more.
Based in Richmond, Virginia, the company is managed by John’s son, Stewart A. Hinckley, who serves as SPUC’s Executive Director, and 20 SPUC staff team members.
