So this is a new website

Basically that means we are updating the text and images as best we can in free time (we are a volunteer organization at the local level)… so cut us a little slack… please.

Over August and September we’ll be getting this new site up to speed and would welcome your constructive criticism.  Share it via email at the bottom of the page.  We have thick skins so be honest.  By October, the content should be 100% here.

Thanks to 3 Waves Media for the visual design and coding of our new site!

2019 American Advertising Award Acknowledgements

2019 AMERICAN ADVERTISING AWARD (“Addy”) winners were notified of their winning entries earlier this year with some winning at the East Coast District 2-Region level as well.  In November, we will acknowledge them and kick off the 2020 “AAAs” (“Addys”) with an event.  Look in your email in October for your invitation.

While we hand delivered trophies and certificates to the 2019 winners, you’ll still want to see what these great organizations winning work and we will also PRE-REGISTER your 2020 CREATIVE ON-SITE at this event… to save you time and a few dollars.  Check out some of pics of this year’s winners since you’re here now.
