Your presence is much appreciated by myself and the MMA Board of Directors. It is an honor to serve in a leadership role in the Marketing Management Association. I have met many wonderful colleagues and formed many close friendships because of my involvement with MMA. MMA is known for its collegial atmosphere and its commitment to academic excellence, student learning and professional development. This Spring 2018 Conference builds on this commitment to scholarship and friendship. I want to give a special thanks to the track chairs for their work in managing the paper review process and helping to ensure this quality program. Also, thanks to the numerous reviewers and conference session chairs that help to make this conference successful. A huge amount of gratitude goes to Lisa Lindgren and Leila Samii for serving as conference proceedings editors. In addition, thank you to Lyle Wetsch, for making the conference program available online. Finally, thanks to Susan Geringer, Brian Vander Schee and Pam Kennett-Hensel for always being there to answer any questions I had about the conference. It is very exciting to continue the MMA Master Scholar competition this year. Thank you to those individuals who proposed and developed this competition, the competition coordinators and those participating as competitors. As well, a big thanks to the sponsors of this competition. Please take the opportunity to visit with the exhibitors who support the conference. They help to keep the price of MMA conferences a tremendous value for everyone, as well as offering attendees many resources that assist with marketing education. I look forward to seeing everyone again at the 2018 MMA Fall Educators’ Conference, September 19-21, 2018 in Kansas City, Missouri. Sincerely, Gail M.
