Past Nonprofit Marketer of the Year Recipients

The American Marketing Association (AMA) and the American Marketing Association Foundation (AMAF), along with award media partner The Nonprofit Times, announce the call for nominations for the 2012 AMA/AMAF Nonprofit Marketer of the Year Award. The AMA/AMAF Nonprofit Marketer of the Year Award honors extraordinary leadership and achievement in the field of nonprofit marketing.

2012 Eligibility
Nominees must be currently employed at a nonprofit organization with an active 501(c) category tax status and their current responsibilities must focus on the branding, marketing, and communications aspects of a nonprofit organization. All nominees will be considered regardless of organization size and budget, as some of the best nonprofit marketing is exhibited by those with the fewest resources. The recipient of the 2012 AMA/AMAF Nonprofit Marketer of the Year Award must be available to receive the award in person on Tuesday, July 10 at the 2012 AMA Nonprofit Marketing Conference (held July 9 - 11, 2012) at the Marriott Wardman Park, Washington, DC.

2012 Application Process
A national “Call for Nominations” will be widely circulated in February of 2012. All nominees will receive notification of their nomination and will be required to complete and submit a candidate profile form for further consideration that provides additional information on the candidate’s experience in the following categories:

Vision and leadership, such as:

• How the candidate’s work has helped advance or transform the field of nonprofit marketing,
  
• How the candidate’s work has helped transform their organization,
  
• Thought leadership in the form of speaking and writing on nonprofit marketing,
  
• Recognition by others in the field.

Strategy, such as:

• Breakthroughs and advances in organizing and planning in the context of nonprofit organizations,
  
• Development of unique methodologies,
  
• Effective collaboration inside the organization, and with outside partners,

2012 Entry Deadline

Judging Process
Traditionally, a six judge panel consisting of members of the 2012 AMA Nonprofit Marketing Conference Committee, at least one AMAF Board member, at least one past award recipient, and a representative from The Nonprofit Times will evaluate the entries. The AMAF reserves the right to appoint judges outside of these categories as it sees fit in order to maintain a representative judging committee in terms of marketing expertise and function. All judges will be leaders and experts in the field of nonprofit marketing with careers as nonprofit marketing academics, consultants, and practitioners.
