The Food Marketing Association is an organization designed to promote interaction between food industry management students and the food industry. The FMA is committed to providing opportunities and programs that will complement both the food industry and its future managerial candidates.
Within a very short time the FMA has built a reputation of strong leadership and communication skills while creating an open environment for discussing member concerns and opinions. With a goal of professional growth, the FMA develops programs that benefit individual members as well as industry. The Food Marketing Association promotes high academic achievement, professional leadership opportunities, and ethical conduct in all endeavors.
The FMA sponsors guest seminars and field experiences with industry representatives throughout the academic year. Topics range from brand management to the latest applications in computer technology. Speakers represent some of the most progressive companies in the food industry today and contribute their knowledge on key trends and issues.
This blend of a food industry perspective and face-to-face meetings with progressive food company executives is culminated each Spring when FMA members join the industry at the FOOD MARKETING INSTITUTE'S annual international convention. Students travel to this major event each year to meet and learn from the industry's top decision makers. Whether on the convention floor or participating in inspiring seminars, FMA members are increasing their knowledge base in the area which will be their future - the food industry.
FMA membership is open to students and alumni who are interested in mutually beneficial programs and the exchange of new ideas.
