Board of Directors

“I joined the AMA when I moved to Charlottesville as a way to engage with the community. It has been an excellent opportunity to meet new people and work with local professionals to bring creative minds together. I look forward to all future AMA events!"

"I had such positive experiences at AMA events, listening, learning, and meeting new people that I wanted to give back to this great organization.  Serving on the board has given me the opportunity to really see the benefits of the AMA up close, and the people I’ve met and friendships I’ve made have been fantastic. The opportunity to serve the Marketers in Central VA is a real pleasure, and I look forward to growing in my marketing knowledge and skills along with everyone else."

"I do not have a background in marketing, but I strongly believe that the ability to market an idea, a business, or one’s self is an invaluable skill in the world of business. I welcome the opportunity to learn from and network with my fellow board members and other marketing professionals."

"I joined AMA Central VA Chapter seven years ago to be involved with community professionals and to expand my marketing and communications knowledge. Serving on the Board has given me the pleasure of collaborating with top marketers for quality programming throughout Central Virginia. Always fun and great opportunities."

"I joined the AMA to expand my knowledge of the marketing field through their informative programs and opportunities. Through the Central Virginia chapter, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with some amazing people locally and broaden my network in ways I never imagined. Furthermore, involvement on the Board of Directors level has been imperative to my professional growth."

"After 20+ years in sales and account management, I have learned that most, if not all, employees within an organization represent their company in some marketing capacity. I joined AMA to improve myself as a sales professional, network with fellow AMA members, and help the local marketing community."

"As a public relations professional, I understand the importance of integrating marketing and public relations strategy for the most successful communications campaigns. I joined AMA to enhance my knowledge in the field, become better engaged in Charlottesville's creative marketing community, and have fun!"

"I joined AMA to be part of a collaborative marketing community. I look forward to meeting more of my marketing colleagues and continuing to learn about the industry through AMA events and seminars."

"In today’s competitive real estate market, it is important to have an effective marketing strategy in order to sell a home. As a real estate professional, I joined the AMA to have the opportunity to learn from the experts in the marketing field, both through the exceptional programs and also from the wealth of knowledge possessed by my fellow members. The fact that it is a fun group is the 'icing on the cake!'"
