Committee Descriptions

Professional Development (Programming)

BMA offers a variety of marketing professional development and educational programs to meet members’ needs. Professional Development programming formats currently include:

• Keynote Meetings: held quarterly, keynote meetings are longer meetings that feature robust networking opportunities and national B2B marketing speakers for large groups of attendees.
• Morning Brew roundtables: monthly programs that feature networking, local speakers and a light breakfast in an early morning format for smaller groups of about 25-30 people.
• Evening Brew roundtables: monthly programs that feature networking, local speakers, plus drinks and snacks, in a 5:30-7:30 evening format for smaller groups of about 25-30 people.

Committee members develop programs that are provocative, practical, and critical for B2B marketers today. They help recruit speakers, find event locations, and develop communications to promote programs. We’d welcome your help in planning informative events and selecting qualified business-to-business marketing speakers (local and national) to share their expertise at our programs.
