What Volunteers Are Saying…

Volunteer

“As an MBA student at Morgan State University, I wanted to find a community that connected students like me with seasoned marketing professionals. AMA Baltimore provided that space, offering both learning and networking opportunities. Volunteering with the Collegiate Relations team allowed me to bridge my academic knowledge with real-world marketing experiences while helping other students engage meaningfully with the professional community.”

“Volunteering with AMA Baltimore pushed me to engage with the broader marketing community in ways I wouldn’t otherwise. My background is in market research and analytics, and most of my professional work stays within the context of a client engagement. AMA Baltimore gave me a public outlet to talk about the field itself, not just the work.”

– Westley Ritz / Vice President of Analytics at TRC Insights

“I wanted to become more involved with Baltimore’s local marketing community and connect with professionals in the field. As a student at Towson University, AMA Baltimore has given me the opportunity to learn more about marketing while building meaningful relationships with people who are passionate about the industry. What keeps me coming back is the welcoming community, the events I get to attend and support, and the chance to continue growing both personally and professionally. One of my biggest goals is to help college students, especially marketing students, find a sense of community and access to valuable resources.”

“Through my AMA volunteer experience, I have developed stronger marketing and leadership skills through hands-on collaboration and real-world projects. It has allowed me to apply concepts from my MBA coursework while balancing my work in adaptive sports and women and girls empowerment initiatives. This experience has further prepared me for future leadership roles in marketing and community-focused organizations. My advice to someone considering volunteering is to not let imposter syndrome hold you back. You do not need to know everything before getting involved. Volunteering is a great way to build confidence, gain experience, and grow professionally.”

“Prior to joining AMA Baltimore, I was nervous about networking and meeting new people, but from volunteering, I have gained more confidence in putting myself in rooms where I can both contribute and learn. I've sharpened skills I use every day in my professional role, like event coordination, cross-functional communication, and strategic thinking to reach and engage diverse audiences. More than the tangible skills, though, I've gained exposure to how other marketing professionals navigate their careers, which has helped me see new possibilities for my own path. Volunteering has also pushed me to take up more space to introduce myself, share my perspective, and trust that I have something valuable to offer.”

– Angel Roane / Marketing Coordinator, Coppin State University
