The American Marketing Association is piloting the AMA Collegiate National Student Board, a brand-new initiative designed to elevate student voice within the AMA Collegiate Community – and we’re looking for our first cohort of student leaders!
This advisory board will provide insight, feedback, and ideas to help inform national collegiate planning, programs, and chapter leader support. The National Student Board is intentionally open to AMA collegiate members who do not currently hold an executive role within their chapter, creating a
new and accessible leadership pathway for students who want to make an impact beyond their campus.
For its pilot year, the AMA will select five (5) students to serve on the board, with the potential to expand the program in future years based on outcomes and feedback.
Who Should Apply
We encourage applications from AMA collegiate members who:
- Are a full-time enrolled undergraduate student
- Are not currently serving in a chapter executive role
- Are interested in sharing student perspectives at the national level
- Want to contribute ideas that improve the collegiate member experience
- Represent diverse backgrounds, institutions, and experiences within the AMA community
What Board Members Can Expect
Selected students will:
- Provide feedback on AMA collegiate programs, initiatives, and resources
- Serve as a student voice in discussions related to chapter leader support and engagement
- Participate in structured meetings with AMA staff and collegiate leadership
- Collaborate with fellow board members to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities
- Gain national-level leadership experience and professional development
- Help shape and pilot a new initiative with long-term potential
- Anticipated time-commitment: 3-4 hours/month throughout the 2026-2027 academic year
