Founded and scaled by entrepreneur and executive leader Tobi Lyon, Ngage Management was a full-service association and event management firm serving healthcare, professional, trade, and nonprofit organizations at the state, national, and international levels.

Founded in 2013, Ngage rapidly grew from a startup into Michigan’s largest association management company, earning recognition as one of Michigan’s “50 Companies to Watch” while supporting organizations across 12 states and leading a distributed workforce of 100+ employees spanning more than 15 states.

The organization became known for its collaborative, modern, and flexible approach—tailoring services to each client’s unique needs rather than forcing organizations into a one-size-fits-all model.

Over the course of more than a decade, Ngage partnered with organizations to strengthen operations, grow membership, expand impact, and navigate complex organizational challenges. Through strategic leadership, operational excellence, and innovative thinking, the firm built a reputation for helping organizations not only sustain success—but thrive.

At the core of Ngage’s success was a strong commitment to client partnerships, measurable results, and a high-performing organizational culture. The company achieved outstanding client retention and sustained growth by challenging conventional association management practices and building scalable systems focused on long-term success.

Led by Lyon, Ngage fostered a forward-thinking environment centered on growth, workforce development, stakeholder engagement, and operational performance. The organization became widely recognized for delivering measurable impact across industries and communities while building trusted relationships with boards, executives, policymakers, and organizational leaders.

In 2025, Ngage successfully transitioned ownership following years of sustained growth, industry recognition, and measurable results.

Today, this site remains as a reflection of the organization’s legacy, leadership philosophy, and long-standing commitment to innovation, strategy, workforce development, and organizational excellence.
