JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!!
AMA is a great networking tool to meet new business prospects, potential employers or employees, and a place to meet new friends. We have some hot topics lined up this year and even a famous surprise guest in the coming months (to be announced), so keep attending the mixers, luncheons, and events we put on and building those contacts for yourself, and it's bound to pay off. Also, stay positive, check our AMA site each day for new events posted and remember that it's only up from here.

"AMA has been a great way for me to learn about different marketing tools and topics through the monthly luncheon and allows me to meet and develop relationships with professionals from industries other than my own. I receive the Marketing News, attend luncheons and mixers and really use my membership to keep me involved. The Marketing E-news also is great to keep you up to date on what is going on in the field.."
Lisa Davis, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
"I have been involved with the AMA as a board member the last two years. I believe that you will find our organization to be one of the more friendly groups in the Valley. I am very appreciative of all of the knowledgeable speakers that we bring in which help us all learn more about our profession. Our mixers offer a great setting for networking with other marketing professionals. "
Josh Kozinski, President of Sky High Marketing
"I attend many networking events here in Las Vegas, as well as being a member of several networking organizations. After only one visit to an AMA luncheon, I became a member. The benefits of the group are great. The group of members are highly qualified, professionals with the goal of doing business within the AMA organization and they represent many well know companies in Las Vegas and Henderson. AMA has a wonderful venue for the luncheons and the after hours mixers are a lot of fun. I would recommend any business professional to experience AMA."
Anthony Patti, A&B Printing & Mailing
