What Our Members Say
As marketers, we're always concerned about ROI. Hear about how some of our members have gotten the most out of their membership.
- "Our company allows employees to get involved in the AMA because the management sees tremendous value and a return on their investment in the membership dues. The programming offers opportunities to stay abreast of the latest trends in marketing. Volunteering for the chapter gives our employees increased networking and leadership skills. Firespring understands the importance of building a stronger professional marketing community and the AMA is the leading provider of marketing resources in Lincoln."

- "Keeping myself surrounded by people who are better than me has been my key as Chapter President to AMA success. I value the personal and professional friendships that I have made, being aware that I would never have made these connections on my own. We have continued the legacy of connecting the Lincoln community through our AMA chapter. We have provided national programming and unlimited benefits to our members. The Lincoln AMA really is THE resource for marketing."

- "My over 10 year relationship with the AMA has, in part, made me what I am today.
I love the AMA for so many reasons - it is hard to pick just one. Is it the networking? Or the professional development? Or the marketing knowledge? Or the volunteerism? Or the friendships?
The networking and involvement opportunities the Lincoln Chapter offers were exactly what I needed fresh out of college and starting a marketing career.
Instantly, I was hooked! I have had, and continue to have, incredible connections with Lincoln's best marketers through my participation on the AMA board and past presidents council.
Building relationships and being engaged remain key to my member experience.
And in addition, the AMA now offers me the good fortune to give back locally and nationally - to share my time and talents with fellow marketers who are leading other AMA chapters and their own marketing careers to success.
One gets from the AMA what they are willing to give. I am forever grateful for the support and the journey."

- "We learn with every interaction at monthly meetings. We engage at least once a year (and it should be much more) with the next generation - students who will become our peers. And finally we advocate the professional and ethical practice of marketing. The AMA helps us do all three of these things. This is why I belong. This is why I helped lead the chapter. And that is why we encourage our associates to not just join but to take their part in a greater marketing community. They’ll grow and so too will our firm and profession.”

- "Lincoln AMA's monthly programming provides an excellent resource for staying on the forefront of new opportunities in the ever changing field
of marketing. The addition of the special interest groups for health care, media and non-profit marketing allows members to take a deeper
dive into the specific topics that we are most interested in. I strongly encourage marketing professionals that I work with to become
involved in AMA to benefit them in their profession as well as personal
growth and networking."

- "My experience as a chapter president, Professional Chapters Council member and Chapter Excellence Awards Judge helps me recognize chapter excellence when I see it. That's why I'm so proud to continue to be a member of the Lincoln Chapter of AMA. The Lincoln Chapter continues to impress me with their quality programming, events and strong leadership. The Lincoln Chapter has also improved the way it communicates with its members and I am always well informed about upcoming events and meetings. I'm so impressed with the current state of the Lincoln Chapter that I've agreed to rejoin the board this year!"
