Marketing Minute Monthly Newsletter
Welcome to the AMA Austin Chapter's monthly email newsletter. Each newsletter will tell you about upcoming events, how to get involved, and recent marketing articles.
Dear AMA Austin Community,
I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. As we gather once again in the pages of our monthly newsletter, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what makes our chapter truly exceptional.
AMA Austin is more than just an organization; it's a vibrant community of marketing professionals, enthusiasts, and innovators who are dedicated to fostering excellence in the field of marketing throughout Central Texas. What makes us truly unique is that we are entirely volunteer-led, driven by a team of professionals who dedicate their time and expertise without any financial compensation. We do what we do because we are passionate about the art and science of marketing, and we believe in the power of community.
Our mission at AMA Austin is simple yet powerful: to provide a platform where professionals can learn, connect, and grow. We're here to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and connections that will help you thrive in the dynamic world of marketing. But there's something even more extraordinary about our mission – it's fueled entirely by the goodwill and dedication of our volunteer team.
Our team members are marketers, just like you. They have full-time jobs, families, and busy lives, yet they choose to invest their precious time and energy in making AMA Austin a thriving community. They do it because they believe in the value of what we offer, and because they are passionate about seeing the marketing profession flourish in our region.
These volunteers organize events, share their expertise, mentor aspiring professionals, and work behind the scenes to ensure that our initiatives run smoothly. They receive no compensation for their efforts, except for the satisfaction of knowing they are contributing to the growth and advancement of our fellow marketing professionals.
We would not be able to do what we do if it weren’t for our in-kind sponsors, who provide either free products or services, and in most instances their time, in support of our volunteers and for the benefit of our membership.
In our newsletter, you'll find a glimpse into the incredible initiatives and events that our volunteer team puts together each month. From informative webinars to networking opportunities, our goal is to provide you with a supportive and engaging environment where you can thrive both personally and professionally.
So, as you browse through the newsletter and mark your calendars for our upcoming events, I encourage you to take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication of our volunteer team. They are the heart and soul of AMA Austin, and it is their unwavering commitment that makes our community so special.
Thank you for being a part of AMA Austin, and for supporting our mission to advance marketing excellence throughout Central Texas. We are excited to continue this journey with you, our incredible community.
Wishing you a month filled with inspiration, learning, and meaningful connections.
Warm regards,
Francois Marais
President, AMA Austin
