2007 Fall e-Newsletter
President's Brief
Welcome to a new year of AMA Iowa! As we launch our Chapter’s new e-newsletter, each quarter we’ll share speaker/meeting information, hot marketing trends, tips from AMA nationals and membership benefits.
When talking with prospective members, a question that I get asked a lot is, “what is membership like in AMA Iowa.” Even talking with members, not everyone has a good handle on all of the benefits we receive from AMA. It’s important that as a board, we share with both members and non-members alike the many benefits of membership in AMA. Certainly, we all want to ensure we get value from the activities we’re involved in.
Here are a couple key benefits – more in the next issue:
- Professional Networking – At our monthly meetings, you get to network with marketing peers, at all levels, from companies of all sizes, agencies, research firms and academia. It’s a lot of fun to meet new people each month and visit with them about their role at their company. We have a half-hour at the beginning of each meeting for people to get to know each other.
- Great marketing presentations – We’re told our monthly speakers are really, really good. You’ll hear great speakers from local and national companies. We strategically select our speakers across a variety of marketing topics, such as branding, IMC, research, CRM, interactive, etc. (In this e-newsletter, you’ll see our roster of speakers for the year.)
If you’re already a member of AMA, thank you! If you’re not, now is the perfect time to join us as we have a great 2007-08 year planned for the Chapter. (Hint: you save on each monthly meeting cost if you’re a member.) You can easily register or renew online at www.marketpower.com. We hope you’ll join us, get involved and take every advantage of your membership to enhance your marketing skills.
