The Rhode Island College chapter of the American Marketing Society had recently visited New Orleans for the Annual International Collegiate Conference held there, which culminated in winning two awards.

The conference itself was described as a blend of professional development events, which provided great experience, and fun events, which eased the demand that the competition had on the students. The three day competition consisted of networking events, career builders and chapter competitions. Some of the most popular events were, individual chapters creating an exhibit or booth, much like at a trade show to represent their branch, and a focused event which had a featured speaker, discussing how social media marketing is evolving. In attendance were other students from colleges and universities that belonged to the AMA from all around the country, including some from Canada and Puerto Rico.

Of the two awards won, one was an honorable mention which promoted and recognized the amount of hard work that the RIC AMA chapter had exercised in their ?Official Marketing Week.? The second was an, ?Outstanding Communications? award, which recognized the RIC AMA chapter for excellence in communication throughout the branch and beyond. Although Justin Coffey, RIC AMA Branch President, stated that the organization expected to win more awards, he highlighted the fact that, for many new members of the organization, this was their first trip; he stated that the whole experience was rewarding.

Coffey went on to say that they are expecting big things for next year, ?We?re completely revamping our school?s chapter of the AMA. We have huge plans for the rest of this year and for next year and like I said, have already begun the planning process.? He also stated that ?Students should seriously consider joining our chapter here at? RIC if they are looking to better themselves professionally.?? Much like the competition, Coffey stated that the RIC AMA tries to find a nice blend of professionalism and fun.
