It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the new American Advertising Federation Daytona Beach! Our duty and goal, as part of the National American Advertising Federation, is to provide you with new tools, ideas and insights to better your organization. AAF Daytona Beach exists to support its members, the community and the advertising industry. Our mission is to promote fellowship, education and career enhancement among members, foster and recognize excellence in advertising, champion public service causes, build an understanding of the role and benefits of advertising at all levels and encourage advertising self-regulation and continuous improvement to raise industry benchmarks.

As a member of the new AAF Daytona Beach, you open yourself to opportunities and exposure in our growing community. It’s a great way to network, share ideas and join forces with other seasoned professionals. All of our members are recognized as esteemed players and industry advocates who are given leadership and exposure opportunities through our club. There is someone waiting to meet you at the new AAF Daytona Beach, and you never know, you may find your next client and/or partner here. 

I can honestly tell you personally, through my experience with AAF Daytona Beach over the past 4 years - on or off the Board of Directors, that it has been a fun, educating and a very enlightening experience. I have made new friends, colleagues and have grown my business through membership, just by doing what members do. Every company is unique in its processes and talents, even if you’re not a marketing firm or advertising agency. By joining you will open doors to new opportunities from many perspectives. If you are in business, you are in advertising.

We have been working very hard to make some great new changes and ultimately add a higher level of benefit to joining this year. As you may have heard, we have changed our luncheon location to the fabulous Vince Carter’s! This great new location has allowed us to lower your cost for membership, greatly increase quality of food and ultimately give you a finer atmosphere for networking, etc. We’ve also booked some exceptional new speakers this year from some well known organizations, including our first speaker, Jeremy Delaplane, Director of Strategic Partnerships, MTV Networks Digital Portfolio. Our first club event is an evening dinner and happy hour, with first two drinks sponsored by Honkfish, at LPGA International. Membership and event details are available on the following pages. You don’t want to miss this first event!

As your 2011/2012 President, I look forward to having you as a valued member of our club this year!

 

Sincerely,

Sean Godonis

President
