The CMO Club Announces CMOs for Their Regional Membership Ambassador Program

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jul 8, 2014) - The CMO Club announces today the launch of its Membership Ambassador Program. Rolling out across 18 U.S cities in its first phase, the initiative installs top marketing executives in key regions to lead peer development for the more than 800 CMO Club members working closely with the 18 CMOs already leading each chapter as Chapter Presidents. Development responsibilities will focus on ensuring members of The CMO Club get the most out of both national and regional chapter participation and additional support for the areas of growth and learning they deem most important to their organizational and professional advancement. Like all Club initiatives, the goal of the program is to foster the growth and fuel the success of the nation's top CMOs.

"We're excited to launch the Membership Ambassador Program in support of each CMO Club Chapter! CMOs (two to three) in each chapter were nominated to support the peer-member sharing and growth. Each ambassador will support the current Chapter Presidents as the face for prospective and existing members; at the same, they will serve as a chapter advisory board for various initiatives (content, speakers, future membership approaches, etc.). We're thrilled with their commitment, passion and expertise to carry on The Club's peer-to-peer mission!" stated The CMO Club Founder and CEO, Pete Krainik.
