Becoming a member of AAF is, without a doubt, one of the most brilliant moves I ever made! The friendships have been life-long relationships. People I met at the very first District meeting in Mobile in 1996 are people I still work with to this very day.

Everyone’s time is so limited these days. You need to be sure you will get a return on the time you invest. With AAF, I’ve received more than tenfold—and still do, to this very day. You get out of something what you put in. It is more than a connection. This organization protects our industry. It represents students, professionals, advertisers, educators, media, and their vendors together. The power of the network is unbelievable.

Have someone attend one conference. They’re done.
