Who we are and what we’re made of.

- Promote fellowship, education & career enhancement
- Foster excellence in the industry

LEADERS
Will the real advertisers please stand up?
AAF Tampa Bay is possible thanks to a volunteer board of motivated professionals from all backgrounds and all over the Tampa Bay area. They lead because they are passionate about the impact of advertising and providing value within the community together.
