Ad Day in Tallahassee Lunch and Learn
One of the most impactful (and coolest) things AAF District 4 does each year is spend a day meeting with our legislators in Tallahassee. Ad Day is part of a nationwide network of AAF government relations efforts to create a strong future for the advertising industry.
Few areas of your membership in our local club are as important as government and legislative affairs. No other activity can so directly affect the way each and every one of us does business. Everything from compensation to content to creative execution can be impacted, positively OR negatively, by government action.
In spite of, or perhaps because of its importance, however, many members can be intimidated by the thought of government affairs involvement.
Join us to learn more and help reduce any anxiety you many feel when dealing with lawmakers! Be part of the team to make connections with our Senators and Representatives as citizen advocates for our industries.
