UPCOMING EVENTs

Throughout the year, we hold various programs to help our members develop professionally and learn about the latest in advertising. Most often, these come in the form of luncheons featuring various speakers from our industry. These events have offered a wide range of topics, good networking opportunities, and overall a great time. Tickets are discounted for our members but you do not have to be a member to attend. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
