Ad Hoc Committee | December 1, 2020 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Calling All Volunteers!
SMPS Charlotte is Celebrating Our 40th Anniversary & We Need Your Help!
In 1981, SMPS Charlotte was chartered after local professionals recognized the need for a membership organization to share ideas, educational resources, and networking opportunities. Today, our Chapter represents a dynamic network of more than 90 marketing and business development professionals from more than 55 firms in the area.
SMPS Charlotte’s 40th anniversary is a big milestone for our Chapter and we need your help to make this celebration last all year long! We are putting together a team of volunteers to develop and execute our 40th anniversary campaign. The campaign will include a combination of social media engagement, web blasts, virtual (and hopefully in-person) events, and more. If interested in learning more about how you can participate, please join us for the initial committee meeting on Tuesday, December 1st from 4:30pm to 5:30pm via Zoom.

NEW MySMPS Sector Communities
During a recent meetup with some of our chapter leaders, we heard that having the opportunity to connect around sectors would be a benefit to members. As a result, we’re introducing nine sector communities on MySMPS. If you work in these sectors, please join the communities to network, look for teaming opportunities, solicit marketing advice, showcase your thought leadership, and share best practices with your sector peers.
