WE ARE NAMA
NAMA (Northern Arizona Merchandising Association) is a student-run organization where passionate individuals come together to bring fashion to life. We manage various merchandising events, such as SKATE & SHOP, and promote other clubs on campus. Our biggest event of the year is the annual Spring Fashion Show, where students dedicate their time and creativity to developing a captivating experience. Each show features a different theme brought to life through elaborate sets, carefully designed outfits, and engaging performances. Throughout the year, we prepare by organizing vendors, managing finances, promoting events, and recruiting models. Our members gain hands-on experience in marketing, fashion merchandising, and event planning.
