Anchorage, USA – July 21, 2015 /PressCable/ —

The Alaska chapter took first place in the spring membership drive of the American Marketing Association (AMA). The chapter competed nationally against similar size chapters. Other chapters included Las Vegas, Memphis, Hawaii, Sacramento Valley, Jacksonville, Wichita, Knoxville, Fairfield County, Central Virginia and Birmingham. The Alaska chapter secured top place with an explosive 12-percent growth in membership, almost triple the amount of the second place chapter, Memphis, which only saw a 4.35-percent increase in membership. The contest occurs semi-annually, but this was the first time that AMA-Alaska has won.

Year-to-date, the Alaska chapter has seen a 57-percent increase in overall membership growth from 73 members to 115 members. Historically, AMA-Alaska membership has hovered around 70 people for the past decade. This year saw a meteoric rise in membership. Holly Parsons, President of AMA Alaska Chapter says, “It demonstrates the strength of the chapter resources, including the all volunteer board, to bring value to marketers in Alaska.” This growth means great things for marketers in Alaska, including bigger events, engaging luncheons, and more networking opportunities. In addition to AMA-Alaska’s regular monthly luncheons and networking events, 2015/2016 will host a regular Thursday morning digital marketing workshop at the Boardroom, a bigger award ceremony in October at the Alaska Native Heritage Center, and a two day marketing summit in early March.

The Alaska chapter of the American Marketing Association is a professional association that develops and networks professional marketers, advertisers, designers, and creatives. The principle role is to serve as a forum to connect like-minded individuals and foster knowledge sharing, provide resources, tools and training and support marketing practice and thought leadership around the globe.
