The Advertising Media Credit Executives Association is a non-profit organization that exists to serve the media credit manager. AMCEA is directed and managed by professionals just like you, media credit managers who volunteer for various projects to benefit the industry and our association.

The purpose of AMCEA is to improve professionalism in the credit management field through the exchange of ideas, education and training in business techniques.  We have enlisted the help of John Donne (1571 - 1631), an English philosopher, to summarize the values of joining AMCEA. In 1624 he wrote Devotions upon Emergent Occasions. At the time of his writing isolationism was fashionable in Europe. In the spirit of ending isolationism in media credit we have borrowed from John Donne for the membership recruitment brochure.

No one is an island, entire of itself; everyone is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away to sea, Media Credit is the less, . . .. Anyone's non-participation diminishes me, because I am involved in the industry; and there-fore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Your access to the advertising media credit executive network.
This roster will become a key reference for you and your staff and it is now on-line!

By itself it is worth the price of membership!

Each year AMCEA produces a new membership roster.  The deadline to be included was January 15, for the 2009 issue. Each member receives one copy; extra copies are available at an additional cost.  All of the information in the roster also appears on the web site.  

Inside you will find direct telephone numbers to every credit manager in our association along with numbers for credit references and fax inquiries.  We also include their e-mail addresses and computer hardware and software information.

Using the roster to obtain credit references is only one of the benefits. Survey your peers to find answers to computer systems, credit policies, and procedures questions. 

AMCEA members rarely begin a project at the bottom of a learning curve; we have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of association credit managers.
