Member Quotes about the Value of the Organization:
"AMA taught me what it meant to be a leader and develop the skills needed for my future. From networking with marketing professionals, to managing a team, to planning professional development trips, AMA allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and grow both individually and professionally."
