Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AMA?
The CSU Chico Collegiate Chapter of the American Marketing Association is one of the biggest business organizations on campus. It is dedicated to really making its members stand out by providing many opportunities for them to grow professionally by gaining hands-on experience. The business world is extremely competitive, and a college degree does not make a student stand out the way it used to. The AMA strives to add value to its members by providing many different ways for students to get involved. Aside from weekly meetings that vary in substance from workshops and barbeques to guest speakers, the AMA also has many events, mixers, committees, and volunteer opportunities to help its members network and grow professionally.

Another important focus of the AMA is building relationships. Not only is joining the AMA a great way to meet fellow motivated students, but it is also a great way to interact with companies. The AMA host's mixers and dinners to provide students and businesses with intimate environments to mingle and network. AMA also partners with local businesses to create marketing plans by conducting research and holding focus groups. The bonds between AMA members are also strong as they all have a common goal, to enhance their personal brand and have fun doing it! And at the end of the year, a few members who are very active will be invited to join the AMA board at the national AMA conference in New Orleans.

Overall, the Chico AMA focuses on building strong relationships and developing its members professionally. It is devoted to serving students, CSU Chico, and community organizations on a local and national level.

Total cost is $72.00. National dues are good for an entire year, and chapter dues are due each semester.

Who can be a project leader?
Anybody with an interest in taking a leadership role can fill a project leader position. We encourage students to sign up for project leaders to help them increase their professional skills and gain experience in working with a team outside of the classroom.
