Chapter Excellence

The Houston Chapter of the American Marketing Association is the AMA “Chapter of the Year”

AMA Houston has won the “Chapter of the Year” award five times in the past seven years!  This award further demonstrates how AMA Houston provides marketers the ability to remain competitive in today’s business environment through networking events, special interest groups and real-world educational programs.

As one of the AMA’s strongest chapters, we feel great responsibility to our members and the marketing community as a whole. It is our job to provide excellent programming and networking opportunities for our members and guests to elevate the prestige and credibility of the marketing profession in our area. Winning Chapter of the Year not only gives AMA credibility as the leading marketing association in Houston, but it positions our city as an important center of marketing excellence and business progress.”
– 2009-2010 Chapter of the Year President, Maggie Seeliger


The Chapter Excellence Awards (CEA) program was established in 1974 to recognize and reward AMA professional chapters’ outstanding achievements in leadership, membership, and programming. Each year, the International Headquarters of the American Marketing Association accepts applications for its Chapter of the Year awards from its 76 Chapters throughout the U.S. and Canada.
