About

On August 1, 1982, fifteen members of the National MRA in the Mid-Atlantic region petitioned MRA for the formation of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter. Their reasons for forming the Chapter were:

  • To promote the purpose of MRA in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.
  • To provide a working unit to assist the national Association in the structuring of national and regional meetings in the Mid-Atlantic region
  • To promote additional MRA membership and activities in the Mid-Atlantic region
  • To provide a forum were members of MRA from the Mid-Atlantic region could be a constructive influence in MRA
  • To improve the professional image of opinion and marketing research in the Mid-Atlantic region
  • To provide a forum where problems and solutions that were common to the Mid-Atlantic region could be discussed
  • To provide educational opportunities beyond those that were available through the national Association

Mission Statement

  • Educate members about changes and advances in industry practices and technologies
  • Create a networking environment among members and the business community
  • Build and maintain membership within the Chapter
  • Increase public awareness and acceptance of marketing research
