Why did you join the AMA?
My favorite time of year, professionally, is when I get to connect with other marketers – especially at Content Marketing World. When my friend, Kasey Crabtree, told me about the organization I thought I could enjoy that camaraderie all year long and learn a lot from the other members and the events.
How do you engage with the AMA to get the most from your membership?
Well, that’s just what I plan to find out. I’ve only been a member for a few weeks.
What is your favorite aspect of being a member of the AMA?
I’ll get back to you on that one.
Are there any special work projects or initiatives you are working on or recently completed that you’d like to share with the AMA membership?
I recently hosted five national staff writers at a celebration of our company’s first Gulfstream G650 aircraft. In addition to inviting the reporters to the celebration and official arrival of the jet, we also gave them one-on-one interviews with our Chairman and our CEO. The following coverage was overwhelmingly positive.
List three interesting facts about you.
