Our Mission
The mission of AAF of the Ozarks is to provide a forum for interaction, education and professional development of the membership in order to enhance the advertising marketplace. We represent the advertising industry’s interest to the public, governmental and regulatory bodies; and provide advertising counsel to public service organizations.
Have you ever heard the saying that a tree is only as strong as its roots? AAF of the Ozarks is much the same way. We wouldn’t be who and where we are today without spreading some pretty strong roots. The organization began nearly 30 years ago. What can the club do for me, you might ask… browse through the rest of the site to see for yourself.
AAF of the Ozarks is proud to be an affiliate of the American Advertising Federation. On a more narrow scale, we are part of the 9th District which encompasses Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
