“I’ve received more knowledge and connections regarding social marketing, as a volunteer webinar moderator, than I could have gained in the time and effort I put into assisting with them. I’ve learnt from some of the most innovative social marketers from around the world. It’s a fantastic opportunity to forge a common relationship in the field of public health.”

iSMA Volunteer since 2018
“To make the most of my iSMA membership, I signed up for some committee work. I’m glad I did. As a student working on my masters’ degree, it’s been a great to get a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes workings of a professional organization like iSMA. The focus on innovative social marketing ideas and practices has been very helpful to my thesis work. The committee process of discussing and sharing ideas has also been positive and energizing for me. I think this experience will help me pursue work in social marketing once my studies are complete.”
