Here it is late May as I write what will be my final letter as President of the Triangle Chapter of the AMA for the 2007-08 year. Mark Doggett, our current President-Elect, will step into this role on July 1st. The chapter has experienced a very successful year on number of fronts:

 

- More people than ever before attended our monthly luncheons.

 

- We held seven social events, including several with new formats such as the Working Social, member-only Holiday Party, and the go-kart social.

 

- We held a day and a half marketing bootcamp that sold out and a day-long social media workshop that 60 people attended.

 

- The chapter has initiated a partnership with the NC Center for Non-profits, allowing our members to offer their expertise to worthy non-profit groups.

- We are financially sound thanks to a record number of new sponsors, and membership is now in excess of 360 marketing professionals.
