Lincoln AMA and Reno/Tahoe AMA were awarded AMA Professional Chapter Community Service Grants to help increase the marketing capacity of nonprofit organizations in their community.
Lincoln AMA will continue to offer their successful half-day camp for nonprofits, named Brand Camp 2009, on April 18, 2009. This camp helps nonprofit professionals set aside multi-tasking for a day to focus on the most effective, time-conscious marketing tactics and best practices. It also provides a forum for nonprofit professionals to network and stay in contact by signing up for the Lincoln AMA’s free “JAVA Talk,” which is their monthly nonprofit marketing special interest group.
Reno/Tahoe AMA is working with the Crisis Call Center and Safe Embrace, a service for battered women and children, on an anti-violence awareness campaign. By utilizing the Northern Nevada business community, the University of Nevada Student Marketing Chapter, and the Washoe County School system, Reno/Tahoe AMA spread the message of not committing or condoning violence against women. A White Ribbon Week with activities and television PSAs were used to reach close to 350,000 people.
The AMAF thanks Lincoln AMA and Reno/Tahoe AMA for their support of nonprofit organizations in their communities.
