Hello everyone!


Welcome to the St. MU Chapter of the American Marketing Association Blog! We will try to keep you updated on all of our upcoming meetings, events, and more! If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us at StMU_AMA@yahoo.com . Come and check us out at our first meeting Monday, August 31, 2009 at 5 p.m.! (There is no obligation to join.)

Applications can be found on the AMA board located near the entrance of the Bill Greehey School of Business. You can also ask any of the Marketing or Management faculty members for an application. Dues are $65.00 for the year ($45.00 for nationals and $20.00 for our local chapter). Make checks payable to “St.MU AMA” and return checks and applications to ALKEK 212. Keep in mind you DO NOT have to be a marketing major to join… You just need an open mind and the desire to learn to “market yourself.”

We look forward to seeing you at our first general meeting on Aug. 31st!

Regards,
