AAF Regions

AAF Districts are geographically grouped into three regions: Western, Central and Eastern. This is a traditional organizational structure rooted in the original merger agreement between the AAW and the AFA. The AAW which represented the Western United States was strong and solidified. In addition, there were several activities such as the Best in the West Competition and Western Region Conference which were and remain important member events. 

Therefore, at the time of the AAW/AFA merger resulting in one national organization - AAF, it was agreed that a regional structure would be established to preserve the unity of the Western United States and provide continuity. Part of the agreement included Western Region representation of the AAF Board of Directors. 

Accordingly, AAF bylaws were written to provide that each region have representation on the AAF Board of Directors. Annually club leaders within each region meet during the AAF National Advertising Conference and elect a Regional Chairman who serves on the AAF Board of Directors. 

Each regional Chairman is responsible for representing the needs, interests and concerns of the member clubs within that region. Clubs/Federations should communicate their opinions on any issue pertaining to AAF membership to their Regional Chairperson in addition to their District Governor.
