The GRMA Advisory Board
The GRMA Advisory Board has been instrumental in helping to build both GRMA Content and Community. The Advisory Board drives the GRMA 2010 Leadership Summit agenda to include those speakers and topics most relative to the member community’s interests, and also engage in the selection process of retail marketing thought leadership and individuals who will be invited to participate next April. The Board also selects those senior level executives from solution provider companies that are invited to sponsor the Summit. The goal and objective of the Board is to spearhead a globally focused and highly respected community platform for professional growth and leadership development, while networking and discussing new strategies for retail marketing leaders.
The Board remains instrumental in guiding and shaping the future focus and strategy of the Global Retail Marketing Association, supporting its mission and goals to be recognized as the premier global association for retail marketing leadership. This is achieved by combining the industry’s top CMOs, senior marketing and advertising executives from leading global chains with their counterparts from leading media agencies and technology solution providers.
