StarChapter of the Month

AAF Madison

AAF Madison is one of 200 local clubs that make up the American Advertising Federation, a national organization that is dedicated to protecting and promoting the wellbeing of advertising. Through its grassroots network, the AAF keeps members abreast of the latest trends in the industry, honors and celebrates advertising excellence, promotes diversity and inclusion, develops future leaders, protects and promotes advertising at all levels of government and much, much more. We were able to connect with their AAF Madison President Emily Shea to learn how better programming led to increased opportunity to promote the value of the chapter's membership.
