	What is JAM?
	The Jersey Arts Marketers (JAM) are a consortium of arts marketing professionals that work cooperatively toward increasing the awareness of and participation in the arts in New Jersey. Formed through an initiative by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts (NJSCA), each regional JAM group (North, Central and South) meets quarterly to address common issues, foster professional development, and coordinate a number of on-going cooperative marketing programs. Each regional group is led by a chairperson who, working in tandem with the Discover Jersey Arts (DJA) staff, strives to develop DJA as a statewide resource for both the cultual community and its patrons. Participation in JAM is free and open to marketing, promotions and public relations representatives from all New Jersey-based, nonprofit cultural organizations.
	Meetings
	JAM meetings are held quarterly in each of the three regions of the state and are hosted by participating JAM member organizations. Business meetings normally take place from 10:00am - 12:30pm and will often include a workshop or guest speaker on a marketing related topic. In addition to its regular meeting schedule, JAM coordinates two annual Media Roundtable events (one in North Jersey and one in South Jersey). These day-long events begin with a morning "media panel" comprised of representatives from the regional press there to share information on how arts organizations can more effectively gain media coverage. The afternoon features a networking lunch followed by a series of professional development workshops and peer-to-peer panel discussions. There is no fee for attending regular JAM meetings, however please RSVP so the host venue can plan accordingly. There is a small registration fee for attending the Media Roundtable events.
