Marketing EDGE is a national nonprofit committed to shaping the future of marketing leadership by connecting students, academics and professionals to the resources and relationships they need to see, move and stay ahead.
Over the last 55 years, they’ve served more than 110,000 students through various initiatives to magnify their vision to Launch Generations of Diverse and Inclusive Marketing Leaders.
That vision aligns perfectly with our 80+ year history at the AMA of building the Essential Community for Marketers where students, scholars and marketing professionals can find the resources and connections they need to advance their careers, grow our profession and create a better world.
In light of the unfolding pandemic and dramatic social changes which continue to transform the landscape of education, marketing, fundraising, the workforce and the workplace, the Marketing EDGE Board of Trustees and Leadership Team have established new strategic partnerships to help the organization expand its scope and reach in 2022.
And since Marketing EDGE and the AMA have a like-minded mission and vision for supporting the marketing community, we’re excited to announce that the AMA will be partnering on the following initiatives in 2022.
