Our members volunteered to work the concession stands for the basket ball games. Members felt like they were playing Papa's Frizzeria. Great way to give back to the JMU community and bond with members! Go Dukes! Our volunteers hard at work!

Every year, our chapter hosts a Friendsgiving the week before Thanksgiving break. We meet a members home and bring a dish! It's a hit every year with great food and bonding! Always a great turnout!

Today, JMU's chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA) hosted its first pickleball tournament, and it was a huge success! The event brought together many JMU students and club members for a day of friendly competition, networking, and a lot of fun on the courts. Between games, participants had plenty of time to connect, enjoy food and beverages, and build relationships with other JMU students. We want to thank our sponsors, Gymshark and Celsius, our volunteers, and all the players who made this event possible. Congratulations to our winners, who not only earned bragging rights but also took home some great prizes! We can’t wait to bring everyone back together for next year’s tournament. Until then, keep practicing those serves—next year’s tournament promises to be even bigger and better! Drop a comment below sharing what event you would like us to host next!

To celebrate the first week of AMA starting at JMU, let's talk about the conference in Chicago from the last school year! Last spring, 10 members of JMU's American Marketing Association -- Tyler Esterly, Sydney Stallard, Kiera Burns, Becca Robjohns, Natalie Keller, Sarah Chapman, Reilly Phelps, Ashlianne Shigley, Leanne Olson, Toby Howard -- went to represent our chapter at the International Collegiate Conference (ICC). There, each member was able to network and meet with marketing professionals as well as other members of different chapters from around the country. At the conference, there were many opportunities to gain experience, through panels with marketing professionals or going through a focus group, or to receive advice about improving resumes and LinkedIn profiles. Members were also able to compete in multiple competitions, like a marketing plan competition. Although it seems the trip was very jam-packed with networking and professional events, the group was still able to enjoy time with each other and do some sight-seeing; they went to see the Bean and went to the giant Starbucks Roastery! They were able to get to know one another more than they did before and the younger members were able to ask the older members for advice about JMU and marketing. All in all, the conference was a great opportunity for all the members and an amazing bonding opportunity for the club.

We have officially started JMU's chapter of AMA for the 2022 - 2023 school year!
