The distinction of “AMA Fellow” is given to members in good standing of the AMA who have made significant contributions to the research, theory and practice of marketing, and to the service and activities of the AMA over a prolonged period. The AMA Fellow designation is intended to recognize marketing academics’ achievement, but it is also designed to create a space or fellowship, discussion, collaboration and continued contributions to the discipline. Each year a new cohort is nominated from the academic community, selected by a group of distinguished peers and honored at AMA’s Winter conference. Last year, in the program's first year, an inaugural cohort of 40 scholars was inducted as AMA Fellows.
