Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

All Are Welcome

AMA Colorado is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. We welcome and encourage everyone who is interested in the marketing field to connect and get involved in our organization. There are a wide range of opportunities to volunteer, share ideas and connect with other's in our community!

We Took The Pledge

We believe marketing has the power to make a difference. As innovators, strategizers,  ambassadors and storytellers, we shape narratives that communicate value, create  meaning, and establish societal norms. 

As chapter leaders in the AMA, we recognize that there is inequity in our marketing  community and organization and that we can do more to address these gaps. Our inaction and  silence in the past have resulted in hurt, exclusion, and harm in ways that we cannot  measure, but we are committed to rectifying this and ensuring that our efforts are  sustainable and far-reaching. 

Together, we will use the power of our collective voices to outline the roles marketers can play in standing for and delivering on inclusion; the ideals, values, and principles  that promote equality, respect, and unity.

  • We commit to recruiting and retaining BIPOC representation within our board of directors, leadership teams, volunteers, and membership.
  • We commit to increasing BIPOC representation throughout our products and services, though leadership, campaigns, programming, and distribution networks.
  • We commit to building a pipeline of marketers that reflect the demographics of the populations we serve.
  • We commit to partnering with organizations that value diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • We commit to further educating ourselves as to the plight of racial injustice and will use our platform to facilitate courageous conversations that promote anti-bias and anti-racism within the marketing community.
