A Member-Based Organization

For almost 100,000 members, American Management Association and its quarterly journal are key elements of their success. The Members-only Website provides self-paced solutions, career advancement services, an on-line management database, real-time special interest forums, e-mail and other tools that connect them to a vibrant, supportive global community of like-minded managers, leaders and visionaries.

Our members also benefit from the efforts of AMA Advisory Councils. More than 650 industry leaders—drawn from best-in-class organizations around the globe—provide a rich resource for ensuring that we are anticipating, not reacting to, the needs of today’s business.

The Faculty Perspective

AMA offers value to its faculty members because of the breadth and depth of its learning opportunities and customer solutions. The opportunities range from training and facilitation, to intervention development for the corporate customer, to authorship and publishing (AMACOM).

AMA’s sales and marketing capabilities afford faculty involvement with organizations and industries that may otherwise be difficult to approach and provide AMA faculty members with a diversity of experiences and opportunities in industries and major companies.

AMA’s globalization also offers international opportunities.

The AMA Mission

AMA’s publishing program provides tools individuals use to extend learning beyond the classroom in a process of lifelong professional growth and development through education.
