| MBC Today Publication - Full Color magazine which includes articles written by board members, organization members, and retail partners. Industry news, business trends, how to articles, member spotlights and more is published 6 times annually. It is physically mailed to all current members. Past and current issues are available online on our website to members, and individual articles and blurbs are used in Facebook, Blog and Instagram Posts. |
| AMBC4ME.ORG Website - Originally created as AMBC.ORG in 2013, it was rebranded in 2018 as AMBC4ME.ORG. Our website serves as information to the general public on who AMBC is as well as the hub were our members have access to vendor information, industry discussion boards, past issues of MBC Today, a store locator with each members info, and lists of upcoming events and trainings. It also has sign up forms for stores who wish to join our organization or contact us. Improvements are planned to the discussion board and the store locator functions by fall of 2021. |
| In Person Events/Convention - From incorporation until 2020 when Covid hit, AMBC held in person training events and conferences. Multiple instructional classes where held by Board members, industry leaders, and trusted vendor suppliers. Round table discussions held to advance topics to be addressed for improvements in the industry and our organization. Vendor Expositions where members could see many vendors all in one room and be able to interact with them face to face. Our goal is to re-start these when Covid restrictions lift. |
| Town Hall Virtual Meetings - Started in Fall of 2019, the AMBC Board, and sometimes invited vendors, hold a virtual Zoom meeting. These are held once every two months. Members are invited to attend and each meeting normally focuses on a specific industry topic. News and ideas are exchanged, best practices shared, and membership comradery are built. |
| Zoom Training Sessions - These started in the first part of 2021. Our goal is to take all the training sessions that were normally attended in person and make them available to do online in a Zoom training session. The board members have adapted two classes so far, with 3-5 more in the works to be available by fall 2021. Training is administered by Board members, ex-officio board members, or other vendor/industry veterans. The goal is to offer at least one of these per month and expand on that as the curriculum grows. |
