Welcome to the American Advertising Federation - Central Illinois!
And welcome to a bold new beginning!!
The boards of the former Central Illinois Advertising Association of Springfield, and H!PE: The Ad Club of Champaign-Urbana recently merged into one regional organization, the American Advertising Federation - Central Illinois (AAF-CI). This new, united club is dedicated to serving the needs of professionals and students working in advertising, marketing, and related fields throughout central Illinois.
As the new AAF-CI, we now leverage the expertise, leadership, and membership of two former clubs to offer central Illinois one strong, exciting organization. The AAF-CI will take advantage of technology available to enable members to network over broader geographic regions, and ultimately to compete in a larger marketplace.
For members, AAF-CI provides the benefits of membership in the national American Advertising Federation, as well as offers opportunities for networking, education, and assistance at the local level.
For the central Illinois community, AAF-CI is a resource for finding marketing, advertising, and design firms, consultants, and freelancers for hire; provides a venue for marketing their relevant products and services to our members; and can assist with recruitment through our Job Board.
As AAF-CI continues to evolve and grow, we appreciate your feedback. Please visit the Contact page to direct your comments and suggestions to the appropriate Board member.
