What Are Our Committee Leaders Planning?
In case you didn't catch something from our general meeting we had all of our committee VPs and Directors write a little piece on their committee and what they want to do this semester,
and they need your help!
ScramBULL Committee
"As the ScramBULL VP my goal is to first off hold a successful event. Currently we are needing to secure more golf foursomes, hole sponsors, raffle ticket items, and goodie bag items. I also want to revamp the committee's systems and way of doing things. In the past we relied a lot on who you knew. And I would love to supplement that by laying the ground work for a system that could help kids in the future be able to hold successful fundraisers. Another goal of mine is to simply expose general members to certain aspects of business like selling, when we go to businesses asking for donations, we are really practicing selling ourselves." -Harrison Chona, Co-VP
"My intention is to make ScramBULL a fun and exciting committee in order to get members involved. I believe that if we give our members the proper training, we can have more active members that will feel more fulfilled with their contributions to AMA. Most importantly I will strive to make the day of our golf tournament a fun and exiting experience for everyone involved. I hope to make everyone feel valued and get as many members involved in ScramBULL so this can be the best year yet. Being in ScramBULL will help me improve my professional speaking skills. The best part is that since I am in a leadership position I will learn how to delegate work and organize a group of people to work towards our objective." -Alejandro Gonzalez, Co-VP
"ScramBULL was the first committee I was involved in with AMA and I quickly realized the importance of communication in business. ScramBULL has given me great real-world experience with fundraising and event planning." -Kayne Conover, a former Director of ScramBULL
Social Impact Committee
"Being involved in your community is something that I believe is important to become well-rounded and develop empathy and compassion. Since high school, I have been involved with helping those less fortunate, whether it be with food, clothes or supply drives. I joined AMA to interact with other students who were interested in different aspects of Marketing. As the director of Social Impact I'm able to push social issues to the club that need our attention. Social Impact is dedicated to volunteering around Tampa in areas such as the Humane Society and Environmental clean-ups. This semester I'm excited to continue our project on de-stigmatizing autism with FACE (Florida Autism Center of Excellence) and starting a new project on child hunger in the Tampa Bay area." -Kristal Hamilton, VP of Social Impact
"Social Impact has decided to partner with FACE, the Florida Academic Center of Excellence to bring more awareness to children on the autistic spectrum. This opportunity partnered with marketing has given us the chance to make a change to their social media to bring more eyes on what they bring to the community." -Ilyana Adame, a former VP
Event Planning Committee
"Greetings! I am Alex, the VP of Events here at USF AMA! Being In the American Marketing Association at USF is a total honor in my opinion. We get to interact with different business, organizations and like minded students that are all working towards the same goal. Being the VP of Events has allowed me to capitalized on my leadership skills as well as make exciting and fun things happen within our organization. Currently we do have some exciting events that we are planning for such as career fairs (Marketing Career Fair and College to Career Fair) and our annual trip to New Orleans is right around the corner! As of now our event committee meetings are on Tuesdays at 1 o’clock. Come by and check us out and see what AMA can do for you!" -Alex Cruz, VP
"My committee is hard working and work extremely well together. They all have been a great help this semester planning and participating in the events we have planned." -Courtney Duke, a former VP of Event Planning
Charged Marketing Group (CMG)
"When I first joined AMA, the Charged Marketing Group was something I got really involved in. I saw tremendous value in doing real projects for real businesses in the Tampa Bay Area, and I knew all the work I'd be doing would be relevant and end up on my resume. My goal is to keep providing that same value I saw two years ago to current AMA members who want to join the CMG Committee. Some past projects included assisting local businesses with revamping their websites and creating plans that helped direct more traffic to these websites. I want us to work on relevant projects together as a team, and even have fun while doing it and build long-lasting friendships like I was able to when I first joined." -Rachel Vogie, VP
"CMG is a member-run agency that gives students real world experience in the marketing field while helping out small businesses" -Stephen Idewu, a former VP of CMG
Communications Committee
"The communications committee is a collaborative bunch of creative minds. They allow me to lead a team of AMAzing people who help enhance each other's Adobe Creative Cloud knowledge. Together we perfect our graphic design and digital marketing skills in a real world experience." -Gabriela Rigaud, VP
"Communications committee not only allows me to enhance my Photoshop abilities and lead a team, but learn from my peers and work together to stimulate real life graphic design experience." -Gabi Kubiszyn, former VP of Communications
