Dear AMA Members and Guests,

Excitement.  Anticipation.  Gratitude.  Just a few of the emotions we feel as we celebrate a new fiscal year at AMA Tampa Bay.  I am truly honored be named president of our award-winning, ever-growing Chapter.  I am amazed to see our progress year after year and the invaluable programming opportunities available. 

Without the leadership of past presidents Karin Arden, Jim Slusser and Colleen Chappell we would not have been able to stay the course of an economic situation unlike any we have seen.  Our passionate volunteer Board, our dedicated volunteers (more than 40 currently) and you our passionate marketing community, are poised for even more growth and success this year.  

We look forward to another stellar year that will inevitably be one of the best yet - a true testament to the power of AMA Tampa Bay.  We are excited to bring a wide variety of outstanding programs, special interest group (SIG) events, networking and business building opportunities that will continue to bring some of the most notable marketing thought-leaders to Tampa Bay. 

We renew our commitment to go above and beyond this year and look forward to getting to know you even better.  So please join us for an upcoming program and please take a moment to introduce yourself if we haven’t met yet.  I look forward to building personal relationships with each of you!

Tara Hustedde
