The ABM/NAMA club is comprised of roughly 100 Cal Poly students. Members are intrigued with the Agribusiness industry, often with a major, minor or emphasis on Agribusiness while at Cal Poly. Within the club students learn about the agriculture industry today, practicing Cal Poly's Learn By Doing on another level. Thanks to generous support from industry donors, Cal Poly Alumni and numerous others, the club provides vital opportunities each year for students to connect with industry, compete in statewide marketing competitions, attend national conventions, and give back to their local communities, all the while, networking with agribusiness professionals. In consequence, the club becomes a great way to stay involved, meet others and interact with likeminded peers. 

​

Each year, Cal Poly’s Agribusiness Management club organizes the Ag Showcase. The team's President and Ag Showcase Chair directly coordinate the event, while the other board members spearhead committees. The annual 2-day career fair generates pivotal funds for student scholarships. This past year ABM/NAMA officers were proud to award $85,000 back to student members.

In the Fall Semester, students involved with the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA), create a marketing plan for a new agricultural or food product to present at a national competition Kansas City. In April, the team's efforts culminate where they compete against nearly 35 other universities. Through and through, being a part of the ABM/NAMA club exposes students to a rich and rewarding experience, promoting learning beyond the classroom where students are engaged, challenged and empowered.
