March Volunteer of the Month — Angad Chera

Thank you to AMA Atlanta volunteer Angad Chera for his outstanding contribution to the 2010 American Marketer of the Year (AMY) Awards – the chapter’s annual landmark awards event.

From the first day he volunteered, Angad provided instant value to the team through his creativity, passion and commitment to marketing. In addition to securing event sponsorships and coordinating event logistics, Angad stepped up to own the AMY Awards social media strategy. He created an editorial calendar, tweet schedule (follow us @amaatlanta) and a social media “cheat sheet” for committee members.  His efforts have broadened the reach of the AMY Awards, helping to drive entries and ticket sales. 

In his own words: “I initially joined AMA to network and job seek. However, after getting involved in the AMYs I see the long-term benefit of volunteering – I’ve been able to network with seasoned professionals and gain experience in event planning, sponsorships, fundraising and social media – it’s been incredibly worthwhile.”

Angad is a marketing coordinator at GlobalDoc, Inc. and can be contacted on LinkedIn.  Want to join AMA Atlanta’s volunteer ranks? Contact Jessica Covello at jcovello24@gmail.com.
