Submit Your Application for the LMA Presidents' Gift by November 30!
For the third consecutive year, LMA will provide one first-time attendee with complimentary registration to the 2016 LMA Annual Conference in Austin, Texas (April 11-13, 2016) as well as either:
- Admittance to a pre-conference program of their choosing during Annual Conference; or
- Complimentary registration for the LMA QuickStart®.
Last year, LMA awarded one first-time attendee with this opportunity: Stephanie Simpson, Marketing Event Coordinator for Williams Mullen.
Stephanie's tip for the Presidents' Gift Application:
"Start drafting answers to the questions, and for me, the rest came together quickly. The questions really targeted how I felt about the LMA- I knew I was new to the industry, and I wanted the opportunity to learn as much as I could, and the annual conference was a great way to do that. I was lucky that my team was incredibly supportive, and as a result, was instrumental in getting my video done, so I would recommend speaking to colleagues and supervisors about getting involved, and use their creative input and skills!"
-Stephanie Simpson, LMA Presidents' Gift Recipient for 2015
