AMA-Atlanta Collegiate holds 24th Annual Collegiate Conference

This has been an exciting week for AMA-Atlanta Collegiate with two major events taking place, the Banana Republic Dress for Success Mixer and the 24^th Annual Collegiate Conference.  As the vice-president of communications, I am responsible for  developing the pre- and post-event communications to spread the word and garner registrations for both events.

Yesterday, we held the Dress for Success Mixer at the Hudson Grill. Some of the members of the Collegiate team were given the opportunity to stroll down the catwalk in the Spring 2010 Fashion show, including yours truly. The fashion show gives future grads the opportunity to see what appropriate business attire is - from client meetings down to casual Friday.

Today is the 24^th Annual Collegiate Conference. Students, advisers and staff from 12 schools in five states across the southeast will gather at the Biltmore Hotel to network, attend workshops and gain insight to the current marketing landscape. We are also holding a recruitment fair where students will have the opportunity to have marketing professionals, such as myself, critique their résumés and meet with over 12 businesses that are currently hiring. This will be one of the best conferences that we’ve done to date!
