About SBMA

About Sales and Business Marketing Association

The Sales and Business Marketing Association at WMU is the largest registered student organization within the Haworth College of Business. Simply put, we connect our members with opportunities. We do this by hosting "employer nights" in which attending employers give short presentations to eager members about their company, industry, and most importantly, the positions they are looking to fill. After the presentations, members have the opportunity to network with the employers, ask important questions and "sell" themselves. 

Over 80% of our members who have a job or internship received the position through our organization. Our organization places a high importance on crafting young professionals from all different majors. The Sales and Business Marketing Association gives members the resources, tools, and connections to develop into successful professionals throughout their college careers.
