The Pace University Marketing Association (Plesantville) has enjoyed a period of tremendous growth and opportunity during the 2008-2009 school year. The PLV team was very fortunate to have an extremely dedicated group of students, that without their dedication, this year’s accomplishments would not be possible.  At the 31^st Annual American Marketing Association Intercollegiate Conference hosted in New Orleans, the team was represented by seven students and their faculty advisor. Pace Pleasantville participated in the annual Chapter Exhibit Competition where students built a display on the conference theme of “Capture Your Marketing Power”. The team competed against 36 schools from across the region, and won a total of three awards for their exhibit.
