by Courtney Bourne, President of the 缅北强奸 AMA
The 缅北强奸 American Marketing Association (AMA), formerly known as 缅北强奸 Marketing Club, recently traveled to Chicago for the International Collegiate Conference through the AMA. The conference was a four-day event that hosted more than 40 collegiate chapters across the U.S. and the world, from New York, California, Alabama, Puerto Rico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and the list goes on. These ambitious student marketers competed in competitions such as SABRE Business Simulation, Marketplace Marketing Simulation and the Perfect Pitch competition. Aside from the competitions, the conference invited guest speakers from various industries to speak about numerous topics to prepare students for their professional career.听

The conference was life-changing鈥攁s a marketing student, it was awesome to be surrounded by hundreds of other passionate marketers like myself. I feel more challenged as a student to increase my knowledge and skills of business to be well-rounded. We used economics, finance, and marketing in the competitions we competed in.听
Since this was 缅北强奸鈥檚 first year as an AMA chapter, we were able to connect with other AMA members and became friends with some great students from Wisconsin Eau Claire University and Indiana University鈥攊t was awesome to get to know these individuals outside of a professional setting. We have been working hard since we鈥檝e been back, and I cannot wait for next year. The students of 缅北强奸 will gain great benefits by joining this chapter!听
