About

Skill.  Experience.  Conscientiousness.

Founded by Laurie and Rick Szilagyi in 1999, Lexian is a New Hampshire-based association management company offering wide-ranging expertise and a cost-effective model.

We know that for many nonprofits and small businesses, budget and time constraints often cause goals to go unaccomplished.  But limited resources shouldn’t mean limited possibilities.

At Lexian, we handle the nitty-gritty so you can focus on Big Picture plans and ideas.  Offering a skilled and detail-oriented team, a diverse array of services, and the drive to continually improve and impress, we’re here to help your organization achieve its fullest potential.

Laurie Szilagyi, Principal

Having worked in the accounting center at Kraft Dairy Group before moving to the sales department as a sales analyst, Laurie brings her experience working with numbers to Lexian.  With an interest in the arts, she enrolled in a certificate program at UNH to add graphic design knowledge to her skill set.  As Lexian expanded its client base, she joined Rick full time in 2005 to provide bookkeeping, email marketing and desktop publishing services to clients.  Today, Laurie’s responsibilities are primarily related to bookkeeping and accounting, providing oversight as well as carrying her own client list.

When not working in the office, Laurie enjoys cooking and baking, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with family and friends.

Rick graduated from Ursinus College with a B.S. in Biology, and earned a Master of Management degree with a major in Healthcare Administration from Penn State.  Prior to Lexian Management, he worked on the business side of the clinical laboratory industry with Upjohn, SmithKline, and Corning.  He co-founded Lexian Management in 1999.

At Lexian, Rick oversees marketing and administration.  He also provides executive services for Lexian’s clients, which gives him the opportunity to work closely with boards of directors, board committees, and lobbyists on regulatory and legislative issues.

Outside of the office, Rick likes to go kayak-camping in the Great North Woods.  He also used to play tennis frequently, until his knees gave him the option to continue to play or walk without a limp.

What is an Association Management Company?

Association Management Companies (AMCs) are for-profit businesses that outsource services to nonprofit associations and other organizations.  By working with an AMC, associations gain the skills and expertise they need to prosper.  Please visit the AMC Institute website for more information.

My Company/Organization is Not an “Association.”  Can Lexian Still Help Me?

Yes!  Lexian offers solutions to associations, professional societies, nonprofit and charity organizations, and for-profit businesses.
