PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Our chapter advisor is Professor Cindy Fox who is assisted by Professor Jacqueline Robinson. Cindy Fox is a part of our parent chapter, Charlotte American Marketing Association. Having Cindy and Jacqueline as our advisors gives us unprecedented access to a mentor system, events with other colleges in the region, and the parent chapter’s networking, social and professional events.

We encourage students to attend all of the career fairs and professional events put on by the Belk College of Business and our sister business organizations and to keep in touch with our successful American Marketing Association alumni who have since graduated.

  • Professional Development Workshops.

    Our Professional Development workshops will provide our members with the tools and skills to take with them to advance their career and prepare for job interviews. Topics will consist of Resume Building, Cover Letters, LinkedIn presence, Elevator Speeches, etc.

  • Professional Keynote Speakers

    Bringing in Professional Guest Speakers has been a part of our AMA Chapter for quite some time now. We want to continue that tradition and bring in a wide range of new speakers. Our keynote speakers will consist of marketing professionals and business leaders.

  • Regional Marketing Conferences

    Being a member of our chapter will ensure networking opportunities with collegiate members within our region. You will also be given the chance to compete in events to help build your career-based skills and potentially earn a scholarship reward.

  • International Collegiate Conference

    Every March, our chapter sends members to the National American Marketing Association's International Collegiate Conference in New Orleans. This conference is a great opportunity for networking and furthering one’s education in marketing and how it shapes the world around us. The competitions provide hands on experience for members and the speakers provide career and life changing information.

Our Objective

Increase the Professional development & networking opportunities to all current members while providing them with the proper tools and resources to build knowledge on the importance of Professional development.

Our Goal

Maintain our Professional Development workshops and events from the previous year, utilize the University Career Center to bring in speakers, acquire 1-2 Marketing Agency guest speakers, and empower the members to ensure they have the confidence in a Professional Business environment.
