The holidays are officially upon us. We have some great events planned for December and the beginning of 2009 that you don't want to miss out on. We also have two members joining our board this month; Pamela Meza, Programming Chair and LaToya McGee-Willis, Chapter Historian. Hopefully you are already planning on attending the holiday luncheon this Thursday, December 4th. We will be raffling off 12 amazing gift baskets as well as other prizes donated by other AMA members. Catch the Moment will also be on hand to provide custom photos for each attendee. So wear your holiday best and get ready to network and celebrate.

The American Marketing Association Mentor Day for UNLV students was a great success. Several UNLV students were paired up with AMA members and were given a “day in the life” perspective on marketing. Many of the students mentioned how interesting it was. Big thanks to Angela George, Dean White and Theresa Boucher for getting this together.
