The DMA is an incredibly helpful and welcoming community and I felt a strong draw to that and the level of empowerment that the DMA bestows upon it’s members.
As an ambassador, I can share my knowledge with an eager community, and as a life-long learner I can continue to stay fresh with what’s happening in the field. The program has definitely exceeded my expectations of what a community can do!
