A team of professionals.
Our club includes people involved in almost every aspect of creating, producing and presenting advertising. We are an interesting mix of personalities and professions, and we all share a dedication to advancing the art and science of advertising.

Regular program meetings each month during the club year (September through May) offer members and guests useful information. These meetings are also a great chance to meet and network with others involved in the creation and application of the advertising arts.
Some months feature annual club events like the ADDY Awards, giving area advertising professionals the opportunity to compare the best of their work with that of their peers. The Ad Person of the Year is another annual event, honoring an individual who has made a significant contribution to advertising in our community.
We put the “fun” in fundraising with interesting events like the Moonlight Golf Outing. Some of the funds raised by this and other events support our scholarship program.
The Ad Club is a lively organization that can help you build your skills, build your professional network, and possibly build your business. If you’re interested in becoming a member, fill out an application form and mail it to our membership chairperson or contact any one of our board or chairpersons with specific questions.
