Alyssa: My favorite part about AMA Lincoln is the opportunity to connect with so many talented marketers across various industries. It’s been an amazing space to bounce ideas off one another, gain new perspectives, and stay inspired.

What advice do you have for young or new professionals in the area?
Sierra: Get involved in something, whether that is AMA LNK or another organization. It gives you the opportunity to find your people. Even as an introvert, being on the AMA board and attending events “fills my cup”.
Alyssa: Don’t be afraid to try new things and step out of your comfort zone—taking on challenges is one of the best ways to learn and grow. Building connections, both internally and externally, can also be incredibly helpful for gaining fresh perspectives and opening doors to new opportunities.
Brendon: Don’t wait for someone to give you permission or ask you to learn new skills. Every resource you need to elevate your career is available to you already.
Claryssa: Go to events and connect with the marketers in your area! I felt very lost and unsure of what I was doing when I started my marketing career and AMA helped me feel comfortable and confident about what I do!
