Congratulations to Ashley Edwards, our Volunteer of the Month for August!

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
I was born in Northern New Jersey and spent a lot of my younger years in Central Pennsylvania where my family still lives and I visit as often as I can!

Director of Event Logistics on the Programming Committee. I helped organize the Marketing Jam in June.

WHAT IS YOUR DAY JOB?
Global Trade Show Program Manager at Altassian

WHY DID YOU JOIN THE AMA?
I joined AMA to meet new marketing professionals in the Austin area. I moved to Austin for work in October 2014 and have been eager to meet new people in the industry!

WHAT (OR WHO) IS YOUR FAVORITE MARKETING BLOG OR THOUGHT LEADER?
TechCrunch. I lived in Silicon Valley for three years before moving to Austin and so I am always very interested in what’s new in the tech industry.

I have been inspired recently by finding balance in work, personal life and health/fitness.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN ONE WORD:
Dedicated.
