Meet the Board

President's Message

The board of the American Marketing Association Los Angeles brings together seasoned marketing executives, brand strategists, and content leaders who share a passion for advancing the profession. Each member volunteers their time and expertise to shape programming that speaks directly to the needs of marketers working across Southern California. From data analytics and positioning to experiential marketing and navigating today's global landscape, the leadership team curates a calendar of speaker series, bootcamps, and networking mixers designed to keep the community connected, informed, and inspired.

Serving on the board is a meaningful way to give back to the marketing community while building lasting professional relationships. Board members collaborate across disciplines to produce events that range from intimate social mixers in Santa Monica to larger gatherings in downtown Los Angeles and beyond. Their collective effort ensures that every touchpoint with the chapter—whether a monthly speaker night or a community initiative like supporting local food banks—reflects the organization's commitment to professional growth, mentorship, and civic engagement.

The leadership structure is organized around key functional areas, including programming, membership, communications, sponsorship, and community outreach. This distributed approach allows each director to focus deeply on their domain while contributing to the broader vision of the chapter. By pairing experienced executives with emerging leaders, the board cultivates a pipeline of future volunteers and ensures continuity across seasons. The result is a dynamic, responsive organization that evolves alongside the fast-changing marketing landscape while staying rooted in the values of collaboration and excellence.

For members looking to deepen their involvement, the board offers a clear pathway from attendee to volunteer to leader. Whether helping with event logistics, contributing to the blog, or joining a committee focused on a specific initiative, there are many ways to get involved. The mentorship opportunities fostered by board members help bridge the gap between early-career marketers and seasoned professionals, creating a supportive environment where ideas are exchanged freely. Through these efforts, the AMA Los Angeles board strengthens not just the chapter, but the broader marketing community across the region.
