Testimonials

"Since freshman year the AMA has provided me countless opportunities of furthering my professional career in the marketing industry. From networking to landing my first internship, I felt prepared to enter the workforce." --Katie O'Brien, member

"The American Marketing Association has done so much for me - post graduation and during school. Between networking, connecting with speakers years later, and talking about things I’ve learned at meetings on interviews, the organization is still so important to me and something I’ve never been more grateful to have been a part of!" --Christina Lampert, former President

"Being a part of AMA has allowed me to develop my professional skills and become more confident in my networking abilities. I would recommend to anyone to join the AMA regardless of their major as I think the benefits can apply to all different career paths." --Angela Yu, former Executive Board member
