Celebrating the leaders shaping the future of Australian marketing

The Australian Marketing Institute is proud to introduce the newly appointed Chairs and Deputy Chairs for our State Committees, a cohort of passionate marketing leaders who play a pivotal role in strengthening AMI’s national community.

Each year, our State Committees help bring the AMI mission to life: curating meaningful connections, championing professional excellence, and creating opportunities for marketers to learn, lead and thrive. Their work reflects what AMI stands for,  igniting brilliance, fostering community, and progressing the careers of marketing professionals across Australia.

Why State Committees Matter

Behind every AMI event, networking opportunity, partnership, and professional experience is a dedicated group of volunteers who give their time, expertise and ideas to elevate our profession.

Our State Committees:

• Advocate for AMI membership and professional recognition

• Foster participation through local events and industry engagement

• Represent AMI within their state’s marketing community

• Support member development across all career stages

• Champion the AMI Marketers’ Competency Framework and learning pathways

Together, they are the connection point between AMI’s national strategy and the vibrant, on-the-ground communities we serve.
