Professional Growth & Knowledge...The Key to Better Advertising and Better Business! The reality of business in the 21st Century is that nothing stays the same. Everything is changing - sometimes a great deal faster than we are able to adjust to.

Local Programs

The AAF-CC offers its members the opportunity to continually learn what is new - what is not - and how they can grow their businesses and the businesses of their clients.

Not only does the AAF-CC sponsor workshops for non-profits and area businesses on how they can benefit from wise advertising - we also sponsor learning experiences for our members to help them keep abreast of industry changes.

The local monthly lunch meetings bring speakers and topics of interest before the AAF-CC members.

District & National

The AAF-CC also actively promotes participation by members in District and National AAF functions as a wonderful opportunity to learn and network with other advertising professionals

Both the National and District AAF focus a good portion of their resources on the continuing education of their members.

10th District AAF sponsors two Leadership Conferences each year, usually around September and January. The District Convention is in April each year. These sessions offer workshops on Club Development, Community Service, the American Advertising Awards and Professional Development.

Recent offerings have been Adobe software workshops, how to organize your office and your time, the art of negotiating as well as studies in public relations in crisis situations and how the Internet is impacting our industry. These sessions along with workshops on Membership Development and Retention are targeted at the AAF leaders of tomorrow...as well as of today.

The National AAF Advertising Conference in June features speakers and workshops on topics of interest to many areas within the advertising industry.

Involvement at both the District and National levels brings large rewards to those members who wish to continue growing in their profession.
