Welcome to American Advertising Federation - Montgomery (AAF - Montgomery), formerly known as the Montgomery Advertising Federation. This is our 52nd year as a local club affiliated with the American Advertising Federation. Our membership includes a variety of businesses that are in some way directly or indirectly connected to the "advertising world." From creatives to account representatives we definitely have a place for everyone! Chapter meetings are held once a month at lunch and feature a variety of speaking topics. The meetings are a great way to catch up with the latest in the industry as well as network with businesses in the greater Montgomery area.
