AMA Chicago

Those of us in a #Marketing role learn a lot from one another - which is why we at #AMAChicago encourage all of our members to join at least one Special Interest Group (SIG). After a short break, all SIGs will resume in September. SIGs are peer-led, meet monthly (virtually) during the lunch hour, and are complimentary to our Chicago members. An application is required for the group facilitator to initiate contact. It is never too late to join a SIG. Below are a few scenarios: ✅ Interested in marketing books? Have one in mind? There's a Book Club SIG for that! ✅ Want to know about SEO case studies and best practices from fellow marketers - join our SEO SIG! ✅ Do you run a marketing team of one? There's a SIG for that. ✅ Are you in the nonprofit, cultural, or entertainment arts - join our Arts & Entertainment SIG! The above is just a sample of some of our current SIGs. SIGs evolve too - so if you are a member and have a SIG idea, those are always welcome. Come meet other marketers in an informal setting, learn something new, expand your network, and spend the lunch hour learning something new.
