American Marketing Association Boston Chapter

Founded in 1934, the American Marketing Association Boston Chapter serves as a networking and educational hub for marketers and related professionals across Greater Boston. It operates within the American Marketing Association, one of the largest marketing associations in the world, and ranks as the organization's fourth-largest chapter, linking local members to a wider national network while keeping programming focused on the regional community.

As a nonprofit, the chapter runs like a business and depends on dedicated volunteers rather than a large paid staff to keep events and programs moving. Volunteer roles exist at every level of commitment, so members can contribute as much or as little time as fits their schedule. Most teams meet at least once a month to plan and carry out activities, and the chapter works to bring in enough volunteers to spread that workload evenly.

Members who volunteer attend all chapter programming events free of charge, and involvement often leads to opportunities to take on leadership roles within the organization. Participation is tied directly to benefit: the more a member engages with committees and events, the more they gain from the network. That structure, built on volunteer labor since 1934, continues to give Greater Boston marketers a place to learn from and work alongside one another.
