Become an Executive

"I chose to become an SMA executive to further my career in Marketing. I stayed because things became less like work and more like fun. Since becoming an Exec I've gained great experience and confidence to bring to any job I want to enter."
-Ken Ha, SMA member since Spring 2006; Executive

  • Real life scenario’s enabling you to apply your academic learning in a realistic and practical manner
  • Opportunity to make friends who share the same interests
  • Adding more to your university education and experience
  • Discounts to professional marketing related events, including AMA events and marketing conferences
  • Teamwork skills
  • Leadership Skills
  • Networking skills
  • Time management
