American Advertising and Marketing Association
One Membership. The Entire Association.
Membership in the American Advertising and Marketing Association connects you to a growing professional community advancing advertising and marketing across the Americas. Whether you’re building your career, leading an organization, teaching the next generation, or preparing to enter the industry, AAMA gives you a place to learn, connect, contribute, and grow.
Your membership applies throughout the entire association. It isn’t limited to one location, chapter, or branch.
Membership That Grows With You
One AAMA membership connects you to every current national, state, metropolitan, and continental branch of the association. As new branches are established, they become part of the same association-wide membership without requiring you to purchase additional memberships or pay separate branch dues.
This gives you the freedom to connect across markets, participate beyond your immediate location, and remain part of the association wherever your career takes you. As AAMA’s network grows, the reach and value of your membership grow with it.

Separate registration and payment may be required for events, products, services, and educational offerings. When member pricing is available, your active AAMA membership qualifies you for the applicable discount.
