Next month we’re welcoming Cynthia Currence, former VP Marketing and Branding for the American Cancer Society, to our July AMA luncheon to talk about “Marketing Opportunities in Turbulent Times.” Read the full description on our events page.
Cynthia has an extensive background in qualitative research design and facilitation, marketing strategy and planning, sponsorship and cause branding. But enough about her bio; let’s get to know her a little more with a few fun facts:
What had been your most memorable career experience?
Landing a $15 million deal for the American Cancer Society
What was your favorite project you have worked on?
Head and Neck Cancer Alliance
What is your favorite kind of music and why?
Jazz … I like the energy of it.
What is something people may not know about you?
I try to do something each year that challenges my physical courage…hang gliding, bungee jumping, holding pythons…
Needless to say, that takes courage! Join us July 9th at our new venue - Marriott on Lockwood - at noon sharp. Prices are slighly different this time because of the venue change. Members/Students – $15; Nonmembers – $25

I’m really excited to hear Cynthia speak at next week’s AMA luncheon.
I learned that Cynthia was also senior VP for marketing and communications for The United Way. This experience, coupled with her background at American Cancer Society, will make her a good resource for all of our nonprofit marketers out there.
I’m also looking forward to the opportunity to network. Our company is going through a rebranding effort, so anyone who has experience or advice to share, find me at the luncheon!
