Categories
Professional Membership
Professional (aka marketer) membership is open
to any person engaged in or having an interest
in marketing. Professional members join local
professional chapters and must pay local professional
chapter dues (as set by the chapter).
Collegiate
Membership
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 join their local collegiate chapter.
They 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.
Young
Professional Membership
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.
Doctoral
Membership
Doctoral membership is open to students 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.
Academic
Membership
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.
Emeritus
Membership
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).
