Why Join AMA?

-It looks great on ANY resume

-Joining gives you access to the AMA Career Center, to assist you in your job search (We are also thinking about hosting a job fair, depending on interest from members.)

-To give back to the community (our projects this year are with VITA and Big Brothers, Big Sisters)

-To practice marketing skills and refine professional skills, through various projects (We all need to learn how to market ourselves, especially in this economy.)

-To receive “Marketing News” and “Collegiate Connections” – e-mails that inform you about market conditions/changes and other opportunities

-To meet people on campus with similar interests (We are having several social events and will be hosting them with other clubs.)

-To network (Several networking opportunities are provided, including the Executive Speaker Series.)

-To participate in something different (we have a case competition and a competition for our chapter plan and annual report, all creative minds are welcome)

-To be a leader (We will have several committees that will be headed by AMA members.)

-To get a free trip (3 participants in the Case Competition get an expenses paid trip to the conference to present their marketing plan, if it is chosen)
