Becoming an AMA collegiate member can jump start your career through

To join
If your college has an established AMA Collegiate Chapter, find out
the name of the Faculty Advisor for that chapter, usually a marketing
or business professor, and ask for a membership application.
Benefits for AMA-Richmond Collegiate Members include:
• JobLink - Your
AMA-Richmond connection with marketing jobs in Richmond and throughout
the
United States.

For more information on the benefits that the AMA-Richmond can provide
collegiate members or for more information about the following events
contact the Chapter Vice President of Collegiate Relations.
Many of the AMA-Richmond events, including the luncheons, are open to
any local college students studying marketing.
Get involved
Collegiate Chapters are always looking for students to take on an
active role on their committees as well. If you are interested in
becoming part of the decision making process for the Chapter let the
Faculty Advisor know when you go to sign-up or ask for a contact name
of one of the Chapter's Vice Presidents. Getting involved at this level doesn't take that
much time and pays off.
If your college does not have a Collegiate Chapter but you are
interested in how to set up a Chapter you can contact either Teresa
Smith, Collegiate Relations Division for the National AMA at
1-800-AMA-1150 ext. 9079 or e-mail her at tsmith@ama.org. On the local
level you can contact the Chapter Vice President of Collegiate
Relations.
Other resources for finding information on Collegiate Chapters is the
National AMA web site
www.marketingpower.com or your college's student activities
center.
