Do you have questions about Charleston AMA memberships? If so, check for our most commonly asked questions with answers below.
How do I join?
You can join online or download a PDF application.
How soon will I start receiving benefits?
It takes about three weeks for your membership to be processed at AMA International in Chicago and for the information sent to the Charleston AMA. As soon as we receive confirmation, we will send you a packet of information explaining how to take advantage of your membership. If you want to attend a meeting at the member rate before you’ve received this packet, please email us and we will work with you.
Why am I not receiving emails?
You’ll need to update your information both with the Charleston AMA and with AMA International. You can update your information with Charleston AMA by sending an email to info@charlestonama.org. You can update your information with AMA International by logging on to www.marketingpower.com and changing your profile information. It may take a few weeks to be updated, but please don’t hesitate to reach out and ensure your information has been received.
Do I have to be a member to attend events?
No, everyone is welcome at Charleston AMA events unless we are hosting a specific members-only event. Although as a member, you will pay about 40% less!
Can I get a discount or can I provide a product or service in trade for my membership?
Unfortunately, no. Your membership payment is sent directly to AMA International in Chicago, so there is no way for the Charleston AMA to offer a discount or trade. However, it is possible that you could trade your product or service for sponsorship for a meeting or event.
