What Is The Alumni?

    The main purpose of the Alumni Association is to provide guidance and support for WMMA, and an avenue for continued personal and professional growth for the members of the WMMA Alumni.  The Alumni act as a source of current information in their vocations from which the WMMA can draw.

    Alumni members serve as speakers, judges, and overall support at the Fall, Regional, State, and National Conferences.

    The Alumni Association sponsors the Student of the Year event at the State Conference, as well as various other professional growth activities.  These activities give the Alumni the opportunity to network with other business professionals, as well as interact with the members of WMMA.

The WMMA Alumni publishes an informative newsletter three times per year, which updates members on conference activities, as well as news about our members, dates to remember, and other WMMA related business.
