Please join your fellow marketers and the American Marketing Association Pittsburgh Chapter Board at our Spring Orientation. As a special service, we also invite our Job Hunting Support Group to attend.

Who Should Attend:

1. New Members looking to learn more about the benefits and uses of their AMA membership. 
2. Current Members looking to get more out of their membership.
3. Non-Members looking to find out what the AMA is all about.

Set aside the morning of May 14 to enjoy breakfast with Board members of the American Marketing Association, Pittsburgh Chapter. In a new twist, we will run this event in a speed-dating format. Board members will be ready to discuss their AMA experiences one on one with you. There will be an opportunity to join the Leadership Team, members like you, who volunteer to help keep our chapter active and vital. Remember – it’s your AMA too! Your input helps to insure that the AMA fills your marketing needs.

This will be our fifth New Member Breakfast Orientation. Prior attendees have found it useful and informative – we think you will too.
