What Members Say About Us

Member Testimonials

"It's a diverse group of people. You really get a chance to see all different sides - client side, agency side, the media side - and come up with a more encompassing idea of exactly what we do."

"As a new member of AAF, and skilled professional in the arena of marketing, communications, and public relations, I was slightly skeptical about the value of AAF. I, quickly, found that my initial hesitation was misplaced and that I was deeply misinformed. The members have shared fresh and bright ideas that I have been able to adopt."

"I'm learning new lessons, I'm making new connections. And as long as I continue to learn and grow... it's exactly what I came to the organization for."
