Hey everyone!
Thanks to those of you who came for the 3rd meeting and 1st seminar! Shelly Underwood did a great job with "Boosting our Resumes" and is willing to help anyone who needs it. You can email her at Cunderwood@stmarytx.edu or stop by the Career Services Center.
Please remember that your resume is due to the stmu_ama@yahoo.com e-mail account by October 28th! We will have these reviewed by career services and send them back to you! Also, we would like to keep a copy on file for an AMA resume book.

If you have not done so, please sign up for a committee as soon as possible. We would like for every member to join at least one committee (You can always sign up for more than one if you like!).

Also, T-shirts for the year will be $10. Please email stmu_ama@yahoo.com if you would like a T-shirt and include your T-shirt size!

Just wanted to include a picture from our last event- Marsha "McCombs" Shields for Executive Lecture Series (This is Dean Singh speaking)... Thanks again for those who came!

Why Join AMA?

-It looks great on ANY resume

-To give back to the community (our projects this year are with VITA and Big Brothers, Big Sisters)

-To practice marketing skills and refine professional skills, through various projects (We all need to learn how to market ourselves, especially in this economy.)

-To receive “Marketing News” and “Collegiate Connections” – e-mails that inform you about market conditions/changes and other opportunities

-To meet people on campus with similar interests (We are having several social events and will be hosting them with other clubs.)

-To network (Several networking opportunities are provided, including the Executive Speaker Series.)

-To participate in something different (we have a case competition and a competition for our chapter plan and annual report, all creative minds are welcome)

-To be a leader (We will have several committees that will be headed by AMA members.)

-To get a free trip (3 participants in the Case Competition get an expenses paid trip to the conference to present their marketing plan, if it is chosen)
