Special Events Committee
The purpose of the Special Events Committee is to create and execute top-notch industry events throughout the AMPs calendar year. In the past, these have included the Golf Tournament, Holiday Party and Summer Bash; however, we are open to new ideas and encourage creativity among our committees. This new committee structure, which brings golf into the fold, centralizes all our special events, allowing for better communication between our committee members and Management Company and giving our committee members exposure to planning various large-scale events.
