If you look at what we do in Creative services daily it must look like a bit like controlled chaos. You could see us working on a pop up banner for a conference in our first few hours of our day, a header for an e-postcard the next, then styling a website layout after that, all the while attending timeline and other important meetings. Let’s just say that it is a good idea to have awesome scheduling and multi-tasking skills if you are on the Creative Services team.

“But enough about me, let’s talk about you. What do you think of me?” – Bette Midler in Beaches

Associations have a lot to say – and often, it’s about ourselves. Registration opens soon…check out our latest publication…look at the advances we’ve made on legislative issues...  Though member needs are at the core of these messages, is this association-centric speech the entirety of our communications? Does it represent who we are, our brand? 

I think it’s safe to say that there is never a dull moment in Member Services. If you ask the AMR Member Services team, I believe they would all mutually agree that they prefer it this way. Each day presents a new set of challenges and opportunities which helps us to play a significant role in the success  and growth of our clients.

When I started working at AMR, I realized that both AMR and our clients are very aware of their corporate social responsibility. We recycle all our products and try to separate reusable materials from the trash. One item that we came across was a large box of old CDs. I knew they didn’t belong in the garbage, which made me think, what is the best way to recycle CD’s? My first thought was, “of course, the recycling bins we have in the office.” However, I wasn’t 100% sure so I did some research, and what I found was much different than what I had thought.

I think most people would tell you, when asked if planning events sounds like it would be a fun line of work, that yes, they think it would be: traveling all over the country and the world, meeting all types of new people, and having the unique opportunity to see first-hand the fruits of your labor borne out. Well, I have a little secret for you… they’re right! But that’s just a small part of what our dynamic team of event managers get to do on a typical day.
