Marketing doesn’t stand still. Neither should your professional development.
At AMADC, membership has always been about more than attending events. It’s about having a community of marketers you can learn from, connect with, and turn to as your career evolves. It’s about staying current in a profession that changes quickly and having access to resources that help you do your best work.
Now, there’s even more value to tap into.
The American Marketing Association (AMA) is expanding the resources, learning opportunities, and connections available to members, giving you more ways to build your skills, stay ahead of the curve, and connect with marketers beyond the DMV.
Your membership connects you to the best of both worlds: AMADC’s local marketing community and AMA’s national network.
Your local marketing community, working for you
AMADC brings together marketing professionals from across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, creating opportunities to build relationships that can extend well beyond a single event or conversation.
As a member, you can:
Build a stronger professional network
Meet marketers from different industries, disciplines, and career stages. Make connections at events, through programs, and across the AMADC community that can lead to new ideas, collaborations, mentorship, and opportunities.
Learn from people doing the work
Marketing is better when we learn from one another. AMADC programs bring practitioners and experts together to share insights, experiences, and practical perspectives you can take back to your organization.
Find a mentor or become one
The Marketing Mentor Network creates opportunities to connect with fellow professionals for guidance, perspective, and career development. And when you’re ready to give back, mentoring can be just as rewarding as being mentored.
Develop your leadership skills
Programs such as Emerging Leaders and the Executive Marketer Leadership Circle give members opportunities to connect with peers, develop leadership capabilities, and engage more deeply with the marketing community.
Stay connected to what’s happening in marketing
From networking events and educational programs to conversations about the issues shaping our profession, AMADC helps you stay engaged with the people and ideas influencing marketing today.
Get involved and make an impact
Membership isn’t just about what you can get. It’s also about what you can contribute. Volunteer and share your expertise, help shape programs, or simply show up and be part of the conversation.
And now, there’s even more value behind your membership
AMADC is part of the broader American Marketing Association community, which means members also benefit from an expanding range of national resources and opportunities.
New and expanded benefits include:
- More free training
- New member-only programming
- Enhanced marketing toolkits and resources
- Greater savings on courses and conferences
- Early access to select AMA research
- Additional opportunities to connect with marketers across the broader community
It’s an added layer of value on top of the local experiences and relationships you get through AMADC.

If you’re already an AMADC member, now is a great time to renew at the current rate.
If you’ve been thinking about joining, lock in the current pricing before the October 20 deadline.
Your next connection could be the one that matters
You never know where a professional connection will lead.
A conversation at an AMADC event could introduce you to a future mentor. A workshop could give you an idea that changes the way you approach your work. A volunteer opportunity could lead to a new leadership role. A connection made through the chapter could become a colleague, collaborator, or lifelong member of your professional network.
That’s the value of being part of a community.
AMADC is where DMV marketers come together to learn, connect, contribute, and grow.
And with even more resources and opportunities now being added through AMA, there are more ways than ever to make your membership work for you.
Join or renew before October 20 to lock in the current membership rate and become part of the AMADC community.
