Member of the Month

Welcome to the MN AMA’s new feature--Member of the Month!

Member of the Month is designed to show appreciation for and recognize MN AMA members for their membership. Member of the Month is also a great way for other members to get to know each other. Once a month a member will be chosen at random at the end of the month and receive a congratulations email at the beginning of their month asking them for an interview.

Member of the Month receives:

•                Recognition on the MN AMA website, all social media outlets and at all monthly events

•                Free attendance at all events (mixers/programming events) that month (minus Annual Conference).

•                Thank you card from VP of Membership and President

•                Personal Phone call from VP of Membership

5.       

         What have you learned or do you hope to learn from the MN AMA?

I hope to learn more about how different industries are marketing in the post-recession era and how tactics are changing to meet the values of a new consumer.

6.        

         What is one piece of career/marketing advice you have for other MN AMA Members?

Allow yourself a few misses and mistakes. Most times I’d rather stay in my comfort zone, but I’ve learned more from mistakes and projects that needed a ‘Plan B’ or ‘Plan C’ solution. If something is easy, then I need to push myself further.
