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.

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.”

Join us as Steven Rao, a strategic executive with deep expertise in marketing, data and analytics, addresses the effective Go-To-Market effort. It requires a well thought-out, data-driven strategy, marketing campaigns focused on targeted audiences, and selling to those same audiences. These three areas – strategy, marketing & sales – all must be integrated and holistic in order to achieve maximum effectiveness and, ultimately, ROI.

Steven’s presentation will show agri-marketers how they can create a strategy that fully informs and directs marketing and sales, relies on accurate data and leverages the power of the omni-channel marketing that’s available in the digital age.

His expertise and knowledge, ranging from venture-backed enterprises to Fortune 500 companies, is valuable when working with clients to develop data solutions that will help achieve their strategic goals. He brings a unique perspective to database marketing in agriculture due to his broad experience in delivering database marketing solutions across many industries.

Topgolf is for everyone.

Whether you’re a seasoned golf pro or have never held a club before, it doesn’t matter! There’s no pressure—it’s just a great time. The best part of Topgolf is spending time with a group of great people and getting to know them better—the perfect icebreaker!

You’ll be on a team of six people. All you have to do is swing your club to hit microchipped balls into targets. In between swings, you can relax on the couches or tables near your game and enjoy complimentary drinks and food. How you spend your afternoon is entirely up to you—but we hope you’ll give it a try!

Plus, your participation helps the Student NAMA Careers Program since this is a fundraiser put on by ABEF!
