President's message

Get connected!

On behalf of the Nashville chapter of the American Marketing Association (NAMA), welcome to our new web site! We've been hard at work this summer creating a site designed to help you "Get Connected" to all the valuable resources NAMA and the AMA have to offer.

Whether you're searching for networking opportunities, professional development or a new job, NAMA is your essential link. It's the best way to make strong connections in Nashville's marketing community. Our calendar is packed with great programming, starting with our networking mixer August 24 and our first regular luncheon September 6 featuring John Neilson, VP of marketing for Louisiana Pacific. Other great programs coming up include a presentation on Nissan, one by Customer Evangelist guru Jackie Huba, and a members-only breakfast with the national press representative for The Lion King gazelle tour.

In addition to great resources at the local level, you can also count on outstanding benefits at the national level. Our new Web site includes quick links to many fantastic resources on marketingpower.com as well as information on upcoming marketing seminars. That includes Mplanet, AMA's groundbreaking event this fall. It will bring together some of the greatest marketing minds in the nation. GE, Proctor & Gamble, Kraft Foods, Nokia, Nintendo and Disney are just a few of the industry leaders who will be at Mplanet to share information and experiences.

So take a look around our new site and see why NAMA is an essential resource to marketing professionals in our region. And then "Get Connected!" I'm looking forward to seeing you this year!

Sincerely,

Karen Stone
President, 2006-2007
