It all started when Lesley decided to update her knowledge of social media marketing, and thought volunteering for AMA Baltimore would help her achieve that. She was right!

 

In her first role as a member of our Communications Committee, Lesley contributed and managed content, links and photos for our Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Plus, and Flickr channels. That was an important role because those materials were used by Board Members and other Communication Committee members to promote upcoming AMA events.

 

In her second and more recent role with the Events Committee, Lesley will now be helping Eileen Gwin with the management of AMA events. So far, she sees her involvement as a rich learning experience “I have broadened my knowledge about social media marketing and gained some new ideas from reviewing submittals for the Excellence Awards. I have also increased my networking skills” she said.

 

For Lesley, the most enjoyable part of volunteering for AMA Baltimore is the opportunity to meet other marketers. Not only does she now have a larger group of marketers to call on for referrals to agencies or to discuss marketing problems, but she also has new friends and thoroughly enjoys AMA meetings beyond just learning from the presenter and networking with new contacts.

 

Greg Sylvia, Vice President of AMA Baltimore’s Communication Committee said, “Lesley has been a constant help to the AMA. Through her contributions and hard work, the Communications Committee was able to more effectively promote events and attract attendees.”

 

In addition to volunteering, Lesley also works full time with World Relief as the Director of Strategic Events. In this role, she will be working to develop and execute an event strategy for the organization that will include both fund-raising and engagement events. “It is a new position for the organization, so I’m looking forward to helping craft the role”, she added.

 

We wish her well!

 

The Baltimore Chapter of the AMA runs exclusively on volunteer power. Each month, we recognize one hard-working individual as Volunteer of the Month. These extraordinary individuals are nominated and voted on by AMA Baltimore board members.
