VOLUNTEER WITH US!
AMA Colorado is a 100% volunteer run chapter. We have volunteers donate their time for projects, events or for longer-terms as leaders on our Board of Directors.
Volunteering provides an opportunity to sharpen your skills while obtaining greater access to a local community of individuals and companies that are passionate about the marketing landscape.
WHY VOLUNTEER
Volunteering is a wonderful way to leverage your skills, experience, and heart to support the community. Our volunteers have the ability to impact our strategic initiatives, advance the study and practice of marketing in Colorado and make a real difference in the lives of fellow marketers.
In addition to giving back, volunteers get something valuable in return. You have the opportunity to develop your hard and soft skills and be exposed to technologies, strategies, and people that you would not otherwise have in the workplace. Volunteering with us is the ultimate way to get the most out of your membership.
- New Connections - Volunteers are always in front of our members, event guests and partners. There’s no better way to build meaningful connections and expand your network than being visible, getting involved and helping to engage with marketers across Colorado!
- Professional Development - Volunteers have a pulse on hot-button marketing trends and are exposed to new technologies, media and marketing practices. You have a unique opportunity to expand your marketing capabilities while developing and learning new skills.
- Recognition & Awards - Volunteers are recognized for their dedication and hard work throughout the year including our Volunteer of the Month. In addition to our local recognition, National has additional programs for volunteers who go above and beyond like the Ric Sweeney Chapter Volunteer of the Year Award.
- Exclusive Events - Volunteers are invited to attend our programming throughout the year at no charge. Additionally, we host several retreats throughout the year with food, beverages and fun activities for all our volunteers.
- Travel & Retreats - Select volunteers will have the unique opportunity to travel to either one of the AMA Regional Retreats and Leadership Summit in Chicago. All travel, lodging and food is typically covered for these trips- just another perk of supporting our chapter and stepping into a leadership role!
