Kicking off another season of MNG events
Attendees made new contacts while playing a networking bingo game. There were loot bags and prizes donated by our sponsors including books from Beloved Brands and a hotel stay from Chelsea Hotels. AMA’s president and host Santo Ligotti had the pleasure of handing the hotel voucher to Rym Troudi and her husband Naim Ben Said.

September Rockstars
AMA is very fortunate to work with an AMAzing group of volunteers. This month we’re celebrating the contributions of 3 outstanding Rockstars: long term volunteers Arash Singh and Sonika Kamra, as well as new volunteer, Glenda Haro. Thank you for all you have accomplished.
Arash Singh
Account Director, International
Arash has earned his rockstar status by once again delivering exceptional support for the CEA Awards, an annual process that has a significant lift at the end of the fiscal year. Arash spent a good part of the last few months gathering and assembling the materials for this annual and onerous process. His dedication and effort as well as his past experience (4 years worth!) were invaluable to getting the submission completed in time. Thank you Arash! Arash is currently head of marketing for Merchant Broker and has more than 16 years international brand and marketing experience and has provided his marketing expertise to numerous start-ups.
Glenda Haro
Director Membership Operations
Glenda Haro has excelled since she took on the Director of Membership Operations role this spring. She has effectively trained her team and crafted an operations manual. Additionally, Glenda developed a rotating operations schedule with her team to ensure prompt action on incoming requests, enabling handling of membership requests every day of the week. She put her recent personal experience of the onboarding process to work to ensure onboarding materials are both efficient and polished. She has offered vital support to her team this month.
Glenda has almost 20 years international experience in product marketing, project management and sales.
Sonika Kamra
VP Marketing Communications
Sonika has been an invaluable contributor to the Marcom team and has increasingly taken on a leadership role and was promoted to AVP in the spring. With her broad range of knowledge, Sonika has been “incredible” in helping new volunteers at both the VP and director level transition. She's also been able to step in when necessary to create emails, design graphics, etc. In the words of her VPs, “She's been amazing and we're incredibly lucky to have her on the team!”
Sonika is a digital marketing professional with more than 13 years experience in strategy and performance marketing. She currently leads growth marketing at Enghouse Interactive.
