Jul 1, 2024 10:59pm

Everything that AMA Minnesota offers would not be possible without the amazing work of our volunteers. Often their work is done behind the scenes. To thank our volunteers and bring their efforts to light, we regularly showcase them in a Volunteer Spotlight.

Meet Courtney Medick​!

AMA MN Volunteer Committee: Marcom 

Volunteer Since: January 2019

Job title: Marketing Specialist at Minnesota Bank & Trust

1. Why did you decide to become a volunteer with AMA MN?

I wanted to further my connection with the volunteers and members of AMA MN and use my
experiences to give back to the local marketing community.

2. What do you enjoy most about being a volunteer on your committee?

I enjoy getting to work with other passionate marketers and learning from one another. Everyone brings their own unique backgrounds to the group and collaborating on AMA MN projects together is a great way to share our skillsets and experiences to help each other grow in our careers.

3. Why is being a volunteer with AMA MN important to you?

AMA MN is a great organization for expanding your network and growing your knowledge of the industry and local marketing community. Being a volunteer is important to me because it provides a great avenue for building and deepening relationships with those in the organization and in the community, and it allows me to enhance my skillset by working on a variety of initiatives.

4. What’s the one thing you wish others knew about volunteering with AMA MN? What makes it unique?

It’s really easy to get involved and there’s a number of different ways you can contribute. We have a great team of volunteers, and we have a lot of fun working on exciting projects to help educate and connect our local marketing community.

5. What is some of the best advice you’ve received in your career?

Be open to new experiences. It’s valuable to step out of your comfort zone and try new things because you never know what you may learn and how it can benefit you in your professional and personal life.

6. Besides volunteering, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

A few things you’ll often find me doing in my spare time include going to the movies (in theaters!), traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
