The Wichita American Marketing Association 2012 Agency Crawl: A Huge Success!

It's all-aboard for WAMA lunch attendees to enjoy the chapters first ad agency crawl on Thursday. Participants enjoyed appetizers at Duct Tape, while Cohlmia hosted sandwiches compliments of Larkspur Restaurant.

A lively group of marketers boarded a River City Trolley on May 17, 2012 for the 2012 WAMA Agency Crawl.

The group enjoyed stops at Duct Tape/Justin McClure TV and Cohlmia Marketing.  A big thank you goes out to these two amazing firms- thanks for hosting WAMA! 

It was a fun and educational journey and we look forward to next year's crawl when we visit more of Wichita's most creative agencies.  Thanks to all who joined us on the crawl and again thank you Duct Tape and Cohlmia Marketing for opening your doors to us!

Thank you for your interest and consideration to join the Wichita Chapter of the American Marketing Association (WAMA).

There are now SIX unique levels of membership in the American Marketing Association.  Here is a quick snapshot:

  • Academic Membership - is open to any person holding full-time faculty status in an institution of higher learning with an interest in the science and practice of marketing.  Academic members must pay local professional chapter dues, but instead of joining the chapter, they may elect to allocate that portion of their dues to the Academic Division.

  • Professional (aka marketer) Membership - is the most common and open to any person engaged in or having an interest in marketing.  Professional members join local professional chapter and must pay local professional chapter dues (as set by the chapter).

  • Doctoral Membership - is open to a student actively pursuing marketing doctorates.  Doctoral members may also join a professional chapter (this is optional).  If they choose to join a professional chapter, they must pay the student dues rate (as set by the chapter) in addition to their national dues.

  • Collegiate (aka student) Membership - is open to any full-time or part-time student who is attending a regionally or nationally accredited academic institution of higher learning, working toward a degree, and is not concurrently employed in a full time professional position.  Collegiate members may join their local collegiate chapter if available, otherwise be associated with the local professional chapter.  If they choose to join a professional chapter, they must pay the student dues rate (as set by the chapter) in addition to their national dues.

  • Young Professional (aka Bridge) Membership - is a three-year transitional program for current graduating AMA student members.  Professional chapter dues are optional for the first year of Young Professional membership but mandatory for the second and third years.  However, to participate as a volunteer in a local chapter during the first year, dues do apply.

  • Emeritus Membership is available to those who have been voting members for at least 20 years and who have attained the age of 62 years (but are not necessarily retired).  Privileges include a regular voting membership, receipt of all mail and publications distributed to members, and affiliation with a local professional chapter, if desired.  One-half of designated dues are remanded to the chapter, in full payment of dues.  Professional members may apply for Emeritus membership by contacting AMA-IH (1-800-AMA-1150).

  • NEW Group Membership - designated for Academic and Professional Marketers only since students/bridge/doctoral students/emeritus members already have discount fees. Group memberships fall into two tiers (below) and have only one set fee. Not offered online. 

Memberships are national based with a national membership and a separate local chapter membership fee. Both are required. Memberships are Individual and NOT transferable (membership moves with the individual). You have the option to join online or by printing out a pdf form and sending regular mail.  Click here to apply online or to printout a pdf AMA application and join today!  When registering online, you will be asked to accept terms and provide an email address. Then, follow the electronic form to complete your online registration.

Group Memberships are unique with one fee, based on the group size. No separate national fee and local fee. However, they remain Individual based and NOT transferable. Click below on the respective Group Membership offerings and applications.
