The American Advertising Federation (AAF) announced this week the 2010 Club Achievement Award winners. The club achievement awards are presented annually to ad clubs and federations who display exceptional accomplishments in club operations. Member clubs and federations comprise the AAF’s grass roots structure, which is essential resource in advancing and protecting the interests of the advertising industry.
Each year, the AAF honors top ad clubs in eight categories: advertising education, communications, diversity and multicultural initiatives, government relations, club operations, membership development, programs and public service.
“The local advertising clubs and federations are the bedrock of the AAF. Our successes at the national level would not be possible without the strong foundation of our local club network,” said James Edmund Datri, AAF President and CEO. “I am honored to recognize these exceptional club achievement winners, and in doing so affirming that the foundation of the AAF – and of the advertising industry – is strong.”
In June, AAF-Black Hills will be recognized at the 2010 AAF National Conference in Orlando, Florida for their 1st Place winning Club Achievement entry in the programs category that showcased the industry leading speakers who were brought in by AAF-Black Hills since September 2009. AAF-Black Hills will also be awarded 2nd Place in the public service category for their entry that outlined the marketing campaign created by its members for the Rapid City Area Schools alternative program Partnership Rapid City.
“I am very proud of our local advertising club and our members,” said Nicole Bickett, AAF-Black Hills President. “We have been working very hard for the last few years to build the value and reputation of our club. It is very exciting to compete against the 200 plus clubs and be recognized nationally for all of our hard work.”
