We caught up with NAMA members and asked them to share their best NAMA experiences. They also told us how NAMA has helped their careers and advanced their professional development.

Check out more of these quick, engaging videos on nama.org. Use them to help promote your chapter’s events—or just help spread the word about the benefits of NAMA membership to your agri-marketing colleagues.

Be sure to tag NAMA when you share!

Allie Mayer of Charleston|Orwig, Inc. shares that her NAMA involvement helps “to give me the tools I need in the advertising industry, specifically with a nod towards agriculture.”

Recruit someone you know to become a NAMA member and be entered into a drawing for a complimentary registration* to the 2018 Agri-Marketing Conference in April. The campaign will run from February 20 through March 20. The drawing will take place March 21.

Simply tell your recruit to join at nama.org and add your name and company in the box titled “Referred by.”

The more members you recruit, the more your name will be entered into the drawing!

*Registration is non-transferable.

We’ve set a goal of 1800 NAMA members by the end of 2018 – 18 in ’18.

Keep up the good work! We are up 20 new members this month. Thanks for your hard work and keep recruiting! 

Our latest membership survey proves that word-of-mouth marketing is the best way to let people know about the great programming and networking opportunities in NAMA.

We challenge everyone in the organization to recruit a new member. Just have your recruit(s) list your name in the “Referred by” field on the registration page https://nama.org/NAMA.OrchardWeb/MemberRegistration/Register. We’ll draw names of “Referrers” each month for a special gift.

We’ll update this chart each month.
