• Board Member of the Month: Dominique Shu 

This is a busy time of the year for AMA, and on top of all of the everyday activities, we’re preparing for next year too. Dominique had done a great job getting all of the planning setup for next year – we have a great year in store for you all!

• May Volunteer of the Month: Kate Nilsen

If you’ve met Kate, then you know what a rockstar she truly is. Kate’s been an instrumental part of the Crystal Awards judging process again this year, and we’re very grateful for all of her work.

• Partner of the Month: Lone Star Exhibits

Thank you again for agreeing to host the judging for our Crystal Awards and letting us take over your space for this very important weekend. Lone Star is very gracious to us and we hope you help us show our appreciation by considering them for you exhibition needs.

Christa chaired our event on Healthcare Marketing Trends, and it was our most highly attended healthcare-focused event in the past several years, so congratulations to her and her team of volunteers!

• Volunteer of the Month: Elida Jimenez 

In March, Elida organized the registration for our healthcare event. For those of you who have run events you know it’s because of a lot of solid planning up front.

by Stacey Eddington Moore, Immediate Past President, AMA Houston

Did you know that you belong to one of the most successful and dynamic AMA chapters in North America?

When I first joined AMA Houston 12 years ago, I joined for the educational and networking opportunities. I joined to meet like-minded marketers that could help push my career further.

What I didn’t know is that AMA Houston is among the most well respected and well-run of AMA’s 78 chapters across the US and Canada. AMA Houston has nearly 50 dedicated board members that work tirelessly (for free!) every day to bring our members and the marketing community top notch educational programs and high-level networking and career resources.

Congratulations to our 2013 Crystal Awards finalists!

Good marketing is about results. To win at the Crystal Awards demonstrates that your marketing was effective, standing above the rest. That is what marketing is all about!
