Camila Jerger,
Business Development Manager, YES! Winnipeg/ Economic Development Winnipeg
"I joined CAMA in March 2017. Being a member of CAMA provides me with a great opportunity to network with the local and national agri-marketing community and also keeps me informed about what’s happening in our industry. Since the very first Lunch & Learn that I participated I’ve noticed how engaging and supporting CAMA members are, and what an outstanding service the chapter provides in terms of learning, member connectivity and advocacy in agriculture."

I hope to get agriculture students at the University of Manitoba more involved with CAMA and its members.
