AAF National
The mothership. The cause. The guiding light. AAF Seattle is but one part of a huge organization that exists to further the cause of advertising as a profession.
Districts, Regions, and National - Oh My
AAF Seattle is in AAF District 11, made up of clubs in Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. The Western Region is districts 10-15, in the western US. And there are three regions that make up AAF National. That’s a lot of people who serve and care about this industry.
