Technology/Social Media

Technology, including a more robust Cincinnati AMA website, has become an invaluable tool for the AMA to better communicate with its current and prospective members. This committee advises the chapter on its website management tools and enhancements, member management software, member-generated content, email newsletter tools and member interest profiling. It also looks for ways to integrate podcasts, one-to-one marketing, email blasts and e-commerce into the Chapter’s growing list of digital marketing activities.

Members of the committee use social media channels to engage in a conversation with current and perspective members. Whether promoting Chapter initiatives, marketing new events, sharing information, spreading the word about the organization or connecting with other groups, this committee is always trying to take advantage of new social media tools.
