Awards-Club Achievement Committee
In every organization, there are always those individuals who go beyond the level of involvement expected of them. The Club should single out these individuals by duly recognizing their accomplishments and contributions.

A healthy Club Achievement program will almost guarantee a vibrant and productive organization. The AAF Club Achievement process covers eight of the most important areas of Club development: Club Management, Programs, Membership, Communications, Advertising Education, Government Relations, Public Service, and Diversity.

Legislative Committee
The threat of anti-advertising legislation will always be of concern in all states as well as on the national level. The Tenth District and AAF National are the vital links in a Club's line of communication, should any type of a threat arise.

Public Service Committee
The Public Service Committee provides a chance for the Club to give back something to the community. In a move similar to the national Ad Council, the Club solicits non-profit entities, and designs, produces and places a public service campaign to help them. Clubs should pick a local organization that needs help getting their message out and that has limited financial resources.
