Outstanding Regional Chapter of the Year!

At the 50th Annual Marketing Conference held in St. Louis in February of 2011, EIU's AMA chapter was awarded the Dik Twedt AMA Student Chapter Award, for the second consecutive year.  This is the top award at the conference and recognizes the EIU American Marketing Association student chapter as outstanding in all areas, including Membership Activities; Professional Development; Communications; Community Service; Fundraising; and Chapter Planning, Organization, and Control of Operations. This award is a major accomplishment and is clearly a reflection of all of the hard work of the student officers and active members in the EIU American Marketing Association student chapter. Thanks for making this a great year!
