The Philadelphia Chapter of the American Marketing Association (PAMA) was established in December of 1931 by 27 marketing pioneers and was one of the first 100 chapters now affiliated with the American Marketing Association.

Over the past few years, PAMA and its members have played key roles in the functions of the national organizations and six of its members have served as president of the parent organization.PAMA is committed to bringing members together with key thought leaders in various marketing disciplines and industries.
