American Advertising Federation Space Coast Announces Board of Directors for 2015-2016

The AAF-SC has elected its incoming Board of Directors for the 2015-2016 year.

MELBOURNE, FL. JUNE 16, 2015 — In a unanimous vote at the non-profit’s annual membership meeting Tuesday evening, the membership elected and installed a board of five executive officers and six general board members, all local advertising industry leaders on Florida’s Space Coast.

Executive Officers

• President Eric Needle of Artemis
• President-Elect Madison Conradis of Your Logo by Geiger
• Treasurer Susan McGrath
• Secretary Emma Richard of Ocean Partners Associates Cocoa Beach
• Past President Jackie Barker of Sky Advertising

Board Members

• Membership Chair Akaila Amara of Digital Graphics
• Communications Chair Stephanie Herndon of Florida Today Communications
• Internet Chair Josh Adams of Rock Paper Simple
• Social Media Chair Ryan Shelley of Shelley Media Arts
• Government Relations Chair Bill Williams of A Cut Above Video
• Board Member Brandon Darby of Clear Channel Outdoor

AAF-SC President Eric Needle’s vision for the organization is threefold: to see local business using the chapter as a resource; to see larger businesses in the area contribute time, talent and treasure to gain value; and to offer scholarships to area students seeking degrees in marketing, communications and advertising related fields.

“If you’re in business, you’re in advertising,” says Needle. “I think the days of do-it-yourself advertising are over. There is so much noise and competition that it is hard to be found—and people are waking up to this reality. Ad Fed is the place to start, when you’re ready to grow your business. The need for AAF-SC has never been greater.”

AAF-SC’s next event is on August 18, with guest speaker Julio Lima from Orlando agency Say it Loud, to discuss their role in the creative development and media strategy that launched Orlando City Soccer.

Details will be available soon at aafspacecoast.org.
