“Volunteering for AMA Toronto has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s provided me with opportunities to explore how marketing plays a role in a variety of very different industries, from non-profits to agencies to B2B. It’s also allowed me to expand my network and work alongside some phenomenal individuals, who bring an incredible wealth of experience to the table. From seasoned professionals to marketing students, each has enriched my volunteering experience with their contributions, ideas, and new approaches. The AMA has also provided me the chance to step-up in a leadership role as Director of Membership Networking Group (MNG) events. I am excited to continue my personal and professional growth as part of the organization.”

TARIK E

“I moved to Canada during the pandemic and joined AMA as Manager of Membership Group Buys in 2021. My AMA experience has helped during these challenging times. I’ve started rebuilding my professional network and career, developed new business skills, and adapted to a new culture. My volunteer role has provided me with opportunities to have impact and be recognized. I was promoted to Director for my work in improving the member journey, creating visual onboarding guides, and improving monthly reporting. AMA events and mentorship programs have also helped me build my professional and personal network. Two words describe my AMA experience “fulfilling and meaningful.” I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the community that has helped me.”

“Being a part of AMA has been tremendously rewarding as a newcomer to Canada. I joined AMA over 2 years ago as a Director, AMA International, and over this time I have worked with amazing people who are dedicated to learning and growing together. Through my work with the Chapter Excellence Awards, I have also come to know that this is one of the best run chapters of AMA in the world. (The Silver Award we won last year is a testament to that.) Even amidst the pandemic, and work-from-home realities, AMA has kept us connected with a community of younger and experienced marketers alike. There truly is no place like AMA Toronto.

“I started volunteering for AMA Toronto after completing my masters degree. I was looking to gain work experience and meet other marketing professionals while searching for a full-time job. My role as a volunteer Account Manager for the Mentorship team has opened my eyes to the importance of mentorship and I thoroughly enjoy promoting our amazing mentorship programs. Volunteering with AMA Toronto has helped me develop my leadership, teamwork, and overall marketing strategy skills through the projects I've worked on and the people I've had the opportunity to work with.”

“I joined AMA Toronto as an Event Manager 2 ½ years ago to help run AMA’s in-person events. I was new to Canada and wanted to become familiar with the market here. After one year I was promoted to Event Director managing a team of two. I now have run both virtual and in-person events and had the chance to connect and work with many amazing marketers and partners ranging from inspiring marketing legends, very seasoned marketers to new graduates. Volunteering with AMA Toronto has helped me to expand my network and practice teamwork and team leadership. I’ve applied my volunteer experience and connections in my day job and I am very grateful for it. But I can't wait to go back to in-person events!”

“I first joined AMA as a student member and volunteer of AMA BC's collegiate chapter and BC's board. When I moved to Toronto to work, I joined AMA Toronto's board to become more engaged in the local business community. AMA Toronto volunteering has been instrumental in shaping my skills as a leader and marketer. I've held a variety of roles including President and now VP Finance. AMA's broad community of brand, agency and supplier side members has also provided a unique experience to gather perspectives from all sides of the industry.”
