Testimonials
“As an academic, the national AMA community has been very important to my career development. Locally, the AMA provides great networking and gives me the chance to do hands-on work with our collegiate chapter. I love assisting students as they prepare for careers in marketing roles!”
“When I was a freshman at Siena College, I knew I wanted to pursue Marketing as a career after graduation. In the meantime though, I was seeking ways to become more immersed in the marketing world outside of just the classroom setting. I knew I wanted to become a part of something more. That’s when I learned about the American Marketing Association and its various opportunities for the professional development of students across the country. I became involved because I wanted a richer experience; I wanted to learn from marketing professionals of the Capital Region and make those meaningful, lasting connections.”
“Joining the AMA has been amazing for the connections to other marketing professionals. I just joined but I have already made some great friends and found so much value and resources from the others. The coffee and connections are fantastic and I can’t wait to learn and explore more.”
“Joining AMA has been incredible for my professional and personal growth. The members are kind, collaborative and have a wealth of knowledge. I joined in March 2023 and have never looked back! I found AMA after being let go from my corporate job suddenly. After feeling all of the feels, I picked myself up and started to network. From my connections made I’ve connected with career counselors, created a portfolio, found an incredible job, amazing team and newfound friends. If you’re looking to up your networking game, look nowhere else, AMA is where it’s at.”
“As an organization that has allowed me to view the world through a marketing lens, the American Marketing Association bolstered my love for marketing. Joining the AMA has been an essential step in pursuing my career goals, as it has allowed me to engage and network with various marketing professionals and students. In the AMA, I always feel at home, comforted by the abundance of support the like-minded community members provide.“
“Following two years of living in a remote area where the nearest AMA chapter was a significant three-hour drive away, I was delighted to become a member of the AMA Capital Chapter after relocating to Cohoes at the end of last year. As much as I appreciate the myriad virtual connection opportunities, there is no substitute for the chance to mix and mingle with like-minded individuals. I always felt that broadening my perspective is best achieved through active listening and engaging in relaxed discussions. I highly appreciate the warm welcome of the AMA community and look forward to many more enriching conversations.”
“I was an AMA member many years ago. I decided to get involved again during COVID as a way to do more virtual events. I really enjoy the lunch and learns, and now the events like the coffee meet ups. I am happy to learn more about marketing from this group and the resources available; and to network with other marketing professionals. Ali has done a great job with this group and I know that Robert will as well.”
“I’ve been a designer for over 30 years but always worked for someone else and never had the opportunity to “get out of the office” to network. Now that I own my own design firm, it is a pleasure to get to know other marketing professionals, and the chance for learning new skills along the way. Everyone I have met so far has been wonderful and welcoming. So glad I joined.”
