Overview of L&M Services   Organizations are like flywheels in that the collective work of their members becomes stored energy and when released to the market has a magnifying effect that can propel markets forward. Flywheels are also powerful metaphors for organizations because they show the relationships between their leadership, its management firm and its membership; it also provides a framework for the management firm's role in maintaining support structures and services that translate the leadership's goals and priorities and the members' activities into valuable outcomes that transform markets and professions. L&M — more than a collection of services... L&M provides the full suite of services an association might require to fulfill its needs. But, because of L&M's experience and expertise in association management we can easily substitute a 3rd party provider into the arrangement where it makes business-sense for the organization. Because we provide each of the key services ourselves, we also know how to manage those services from another source to meet our standards and the organization's requirements.   Flywheel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A flywheel is a heavy rotating disk used as a storage device for angular momentum, which is a form of kinetic energy. They come as an alternative energy storage device. Flywheels resist changes in their rotational speed, which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when an uneven torque is exerted on it by its power source such as a piston-based, (reciprocating) engine, or when the load placed on it is intermittent (such as a piston-based pump). Flywheels can also be used by small motors to store up energy over a long period of time and then release it over a shorter period of time, temporarily magnifying its power output for that brief period. Recently, flywheels have become the subject of extensive research as power storage devices; see flywheel energy storage.
