Happy New Year AAF Nebraska Members and Friends. I can’t believe how quickly 2023 flew by and am excited for the expectation the new year brings. Thank you to all the dedicated and talented AAF Nebraska leaders and volunteers who worked so hard to make 2023 a great year with excellent programming and engaging events. I would be remiss if I did not thank all our members. Your continued support and engagement are keys to our success, and I hope I am able to meet more of you in the upcoming year.
Over the years, we have witnessed many changes to the advertising landscape. From new platforms, technologies, and trends, the challenges continue to change as quickly as the weather in Nebraska. As our industry evolves, it is vital that we continue to foster a community where we can connect and collaborate to learn from one another.
Amidst the ever-changing environment, our mission of AAF Nebraska does not waver. We are dedicated to being a unified voice for advertising and an inclusive community to educate and inspire. In the words of Cynthia Mazzaferro, “I believe we each walk our path so we can learn and share those lessons with other.” Whether you are an industry veteran or student, there is a place for you within our community. As you look forward to your goals for the upcoming year, here are a few ways you can get involved:
JOIN THE CLUB: If you were once a member and your membership lapsed, we would be honored to have you back. Your membership helps supports our events, programming, and the growth of our industry in our state.
ATTEND OUR EVENTS: We offer several events throughout the year for networking, professional development, and recreational activities to just have fun. Your attendance at these events helps to not only build your professional network but contributes to the overall vitality of our community.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: Consider donating your time and talent to a committee or at an event. Your contribution can make a significant impact.
BECOME A SPONSOR: If you or your organization are interested in supporting an initiative or gaining visibility within AAF Nebraska’s community, let’s explore the opportunities.
I am so grateful for the connections I have made throughout the years through AAF Nebraska. If throughout the years you have lost your connection, I encourage you to make 2024 the year where you reconnect with our thriving community and help shape the future of advertising within our state.
