Got a minute?
We want to hear from you!

In 1981, SMPS Carolinas 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 have developed a survey for our members (past, present and future) to share your thoughts and memories with SMPS Charlotte. Your response could be highlighted via our virtual platforms throughout 2021! The survey will remain open until February 28, 2021. We can’t wait to hear from you!

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.
