Community means more than an NBC sitcom or a gathering of people. At its core, a community is defined by the relationships, responsibilities and sense of identity that emerges from the connections people share. Real communities stick together. They aren’t just neighbors who share the same ZIP code, but people who go out of their way to lift up their fellow humans, no matter what. It’s a place where growth can happen organically, a comfortable space for new friendships (and perhaps new business relationships) to bloom.

Simultaneously a supportive network of local marketers geared toward helping each other succeed and a place for growth opportunities, AMA Lincoln is an organization run by marketers, for marketers and those who may be looking for marketing help.

This year, AMA Lincoln’s focus is aimed at creating a marketing community for every season. Whether you’re beginning your career and looking for new opportunities, going through the always-fun mid-career pivot, or an experienced marketer looking to share your wealth of knowledge, AMA Lincoln gives you a place to show up, be seen and make an impact.

And here’s a secret: You don’t have to be a marketer to be part of our community. (Gasp!)

While it’s true that most members of the Lincoln chapter of the American Marketing Association are at least adjacent to the world of marketing, everyone is welcome to volunteer and/or become a member. Small business owners can find value from workshops, events, and resources from AMA.org. Freelancers can expand their network by volunteering. Those who didn’t study marketing but want to learn more can do so just by sending us a message.

From frequent educational events to casual coffee happy hours, AMA Lincoln is committed to keeping the local marketing (and business) community connected and looking toward the horizon. No matter where you work or what season you’re in, we want you to feel part of something bigger. An AMA membership ties all of this together, giving you a platform that’s educational and resource-rich 365 days a year.

One of AMA Lincoln’s top strengths is the authentic approach to bringing a variety of individuals together. It’s not about exchanging business cards — it’s about building real relationships that last. This is a community that will evolve with you, challenge you, celebrate your wins and remind you why you chose this field in the first place.

Because with AMA Lincoln, you don’t have to navigate the wide world of marketing alone. You’ve got a community for every season.
