Dear members and friends,

AAF Dallas stands against the racist acts and policies that have destroyed the lives of countless African-Americans. It has infected our country for too long.

We stand for and will continue to promote the equitable, just, and fair treatment of African-Americans and other peoples of color, women, and the LGBTQIA+ communities.

AAF Dallas has been named Division I Large Club of the Year by The American Advertising Federation, and its current president, Farhan Rehmani, has been named President of the Year!

The AAF’s Club Achievement Competition recognizes local advertising clubs for their initiatives in advertising education, communications, club operations, diversity and multicultural initiatives, government relations, membership, programs and public service.

Tomorrow is the deadline for nominating your 2020 Shining Stars! AAF Dallas has had a commitment to elevating the advertising industry here in Dallas. The Shining Stars is one of our newest programs that celebrates and recognizes the top WOMEN in Dallas advertising who are leading the industry.

The 2020 District 10 American Advertising Awards competition has just been completed. Because of the ongoing situation, it took a little longer than usual. We want to thank Marc Eisenberg and David Meraz for being flexible and ensuring this competition could still go on despite the obstacles!

Hello,

Over the past few weeks all of our worlds were turned upside down after COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic. As this continued to unfold, it became apparent that we would not be able to conduct business as usual in regards to our luncheon programming and talent recognition programs like Shining Stars through the rest of our fiscal year. Since 1908, AAF Dallas has been bringing the industry together through our many events and initiatives to make our industry a better place to work and the world a better place to live in. We have been working diligently behind the scenes to ensure we can still do this in these unprecedented times.
