Chapter Awards
AMA Omaha is proud to be a nationally recognized chapter of the American Marketing Association. Omaha has participated in the annual AMA Chapter Excellence Awards since 2017
The Chapter Excellence Awards (CEA) program was established in 1974 to recognize and reward AMA professional chapters’ outstanding achievements in leadership, membership, programming, finance, communications and community outreach. Each summer, every chapter has the opportunity to submit a CEA entry, which serves as a critical historical record of chapter operations for the prior year that empowers future local leaders to build on past successes. The CEA is prepared by the Immediate Past President, and offers reporting and insights from all Board committees.
Top scoring Chapters receive Gold, Silver, Bronze or Turn-It-Up honors, and are not eligible for individual category awards of Excellence or Special Merit.
