About AMA Houston

The community for marketing professionals

The Houston Chapter of the American Marketing Association has been serving marketing professionals for over 70 years. We were organized as the Houston Business Forum in 1949 and affiliated with the AMA effective July 1, 1954.

AMA Houston is the area’s largest and most active professional marketing organization and one of the largest chapters in the nation. We help marketers to remain competitive in today’s business environment through networking events, special interest groups, and real-world educational programs.

Our Vision is to be an active, vibrant marketing community that has made AMA the place for everything marketing in Houston. By being the place for everything marketing in Houston, we will impact the reputation and perception of Houston as a top-tier marketing city.

Our Mission is to be The Marketing Connection. We are a supportive community of volunteers that connect Houston marketers to the people, resources, and tools they need to succeed.

A Legacy of Excellence

The American Marketing Association includes more than 70 professional chapters across the U.S. and Canada. Each year, professional chapters are encouraged to submit a Chapter Excellence Award application. The Chapter Excellence Award judges chapters on programming excellence, membership recruitment and retention efforts, leadership capabilities, and numerous other factors.

Since 2004, AMA Houston has taken home the top honor eight times – besting all other AMA chapters. In other years, we received Silver or Bronze recognition, further solidifying AMA Houston as among the best Chapters in the U.S. and Canada.

What does winning a Chapter Excellence Award mean for our members? It means you receive the best AMA programming, educational, and networking opportunities available to marketers. The award further demonstrates how AMA Houston helps marketers to remain competitive in today’s business environment through networking events and real-world educational programs.
