Association of Management Information Systems (AMIS) – Temple University

AMIS is a Student Professional Organization (SPO) devoted to those interested in Management Information Systems (MIS).  Our themes include:

• running Professional Development activities (develop soft skills),
• MIS related workshops (develop hard skills),
• and bringing employers, students, alumni, staff, and faculty together for a variety of events including recruiting events, guest speakers, and networking events.

This school year I am the acting Secretary for AMIS. I manage the record keeping activities and the general information dissemination for the organization. I team directly with the following teams within the organization:

• Webmasters — This team manages site design, site enhancements and upgrades, and site support. This year our webmasters have launched the AMIS site powered by WordPress, a very powerful Content Management System (CMS). The are constantly investigating or implementing plug ins to add features to the site; examples include the following:
  • Paypal/E-commerce – Empowers site users with the ability to pay membership dues, activity fees, and make donations online
  • Calendar – Automates the event calendar as seen on the homepage.
  • Custom Forms - Create custom forms/questionnaires on the go.
  • Custom Admin – Customize every detail of user privileges in the admin console.
• Marketing — This team is fundemental in the success of AMIS’ activities; they support the organizations’ event planners–Directors of Professional Development, Networking/Community, External Relations, etc–with the skill set to distribute information throughout the organization. Marketing has been known to produce high quality email fliers, print fliers, and display cases throughout the business campus.
• Membership — AKA the organization’s database manager. Membership keeps detailed records of our events, members, meetings, attendance, and whatever else you can think of. This is crucial creating reports that are required by the university to stay in play.
