A message from...
aaf District 7
Governor A.J. Busé
I can’t tell you how honored and excited I am to be Governor of District 7 this year. I have been looking forward to this year for quite some
time. Even though we’re already the best District in AAF, there are still opportunities for us to take huge steps forward and change the world
together. I LOVE working in the advertising field and promise to do what I can to elevate our industry and make our clubs as strong as ever.
This year’s theme is “Sing Your S.O.N.G.” This acronym not only ties in with my Music City roots, but also highlights my efforts to encourage
inclusion of ALL talented people into the advertising field and promote an atmosphere where everyone can succeed and thrive. Men and
women, gay and straight, new and experienced, agencies and vendors, creatives and suits, any race or ethnic group, there is a place for all
kinds of talented, hard-working people in advertising. We all have a song to sing and I want to encourage everyone to sing their song loudly!
stUDents – they are our future. They’re also our present. This year will have a focus on increasing the number of Student ADDY entries
and adding at least one more NSAC team. I will also prompt clubs to include students in their programs, develop ways to encourage talented
students to pursue careers in the advertising field, and create ways to foster relationships between students and working professionals.
orGaniZation – this includes not only local AAF chapters, but places where we work and volunteer. Advertising professionals are involved
in and dedicated to a number of organizations in their lives. My plan is to foster an atmosphere where this involvement is encouraged, and
where hard-working talent is rewarded with recognition and advancement. Our workplaces and our clubs will be stronger because of it.
netWorKinG – one of the areas where many of our members find value in belonging to AAF is in networking
opportunities, making connections with others and garnering favorable, mutual benefits. I plan to more
intentionally allow for networking to take place by recognizing where our members work, what services
they provide and what professional connections they’d like to make. This is as simple as
noting this information on a nametag, to planning for opportunities for networking to take
place and prosper.
GroWtH – club membership growth, of course. ADDY entry growth, obviously. But
also professional and leadership development growth. The advertising field changes
like none other and we have to grow with it, while also providing resources for our
members to grow as well. This will be done with conference workshops and industry
information in the monthly e-updates and newsletters.
This Directory and Resource Guide will serve as your “song book” this year. It
contains contact information for both District 7 and local club leadership. Plus
there’s history, facts, guidelines, award winners and more. We worked hard to
put this information together for you and hope you find it useful
and beneficial.
Please let me know if there’s anything you need or anything that the
District 7 Executive Committee can do to help you in any way.
Rock on!

corporate sponsor. Schools from each district are selected to present their campaigns
to a panel of industry executives at the annual aaf National america! conference.
the aaf’s NSac promotes and sponsors two levels of competition: District and National. Our District 7 competition is held each
Spring as part of our annual convention. Schools within our district form teams and compete against one another to determine the
District winner. by finishing first, this winning team is then designated to participate in the National competition, against winning
teams from all of the aaf’s districts. the following list shows District 7 winners, also indicating those that finished in one of the top

richard Joel best Presenter award
Each year at District 7’s Student Advertising Competition, held during the
Spring Convention, an award is presented to the one student who is judged
to be the most outstanding presenter among all university/college teams
participating in the competition. This award, known as the Richard Joel Best
Presenter Award, is named for the man who established it after working
with Student Competition teams for many years. Begun as an official
District-sponsored recognition bearing Richard Joel’s name in 2002, the Best
Presenter Award was given annually for a number of years prior to that, with
funding provided by Joel during those early years.
Each year’s winner, chosen by the judges who select the winning Student
Competition teams, receives a plaque and a $100 prize from the District. The
winning presenter is announced and recognized during the ceremony at which
the winning teams in District 7 Student Advertising Competition
are announced.
bolton-macvicar National best Presenter award
Each year at the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC), held at the AAF National Convention, ADMERICA!, the AAF District 7 Bolton-MacVicar
National Best Presenter Award is presented to one student who is judged to be the most outstanding presenter among all university/college teams participating
in the competition. The award is named to honor NSAC co-founders, Former District 7 Governor Fred MacVicar and Former President of the Atlanta Advertising
Club Jack Bolton, who started the competition in 1967. Each year’s winner, chosen by the NSAC judges, receives a $500 prize from AAF District 7. The winning
presenter is announced and recognized during the ceremony announcing the winning teams in the National Student Advertising Competition.

bolton-macvicar award
The Student Advertising
Competition was
created in District 7 in
1967 by Governor Fred
MacVicar and Jack
Bolton, President of the
Fred MacVicar
Atlanta Advertising Club.
Jack Bolton
The competition was
the result of the desire to provide a realistic learning experience for college
advertising students. Realizing the success of the competition in motivating
and teaching students entering the advertising profession, District 7 leaders
successfully lobbied AAF leadership to adopt this competition, which has
become the National Student Advertising Competition.
NSAC co-founders Bolton and MacVicar established an award to pay tribute
each year to a person in our District 7 area who has dedicated special efforts
to help advertising students at schools in their area. Special consideration
is given for efforts to help student teams participate in the National
Student Advertising Competition. It should be noted that following the
general intentions of the awards sponsors, nominees should be advertising
professionals who give of their time rather than educators who work with
the National Student Advertising Competition as part of their duties.

District 7
Jan Gardner memorial Scholarship
The scholarship program was established in 1989 in honor of District 7 Governor Jan Gardner of Memphis. This scholarship is
awarded annually to deserving students of advertising and its related fields. Students from District 7’s College Chapters are
eligible, and criteria for the recipients include peer recommendations, writing ability and dedication to the advertising industry.
A selection committee composed of former Governors and other District representatives reviews each application and the
scholarship is awarded during the annual Spring Convention.
The contributions of Jan Gardner to advertising, District 7, and her home club, the Memphis Advertising Federation, are plentiful.
She was founder and president of a full-service agency for more than 25 years, establishing many “firsts” in the industry as
well as within District 7. Her enthusiasm and dedication to high standards in educating our future advertising leaders resulted in the establishment of this
scholarship following her untimely death in August 1989.

The mirrored, beveled glass award was first commissioned by Governor
George Waldron. The traditional style of the award is mirrored so the winner
may look at it and see the reflection of the perfect volunteer. Former
winners, former governors, and all incumbent district officers, regional
directors and presidents are not eligible for the award. The award was
purposefully founded to honor the work of a “volunteer“ who is not currently
an officer/president.

club achievement awards
The Club Achievement Awards are presented annually at the Spring
Convention to ad clubs and federations who display exceptional
accomplishments in club operations. Awards are presented on both the
District and the National level.
Every year, District 7 and AAF honor top clubs in eight categories: advertising
education, communications, diversity, government relations, club operations,
membership, programs, and public service. Additionally, a club of the year
is chosen in each membership division based on overall excellence in
club operations and in specific areas. While club achievement is a major
component of the Club of the Year competition, clubs also earn points for
fulfilling certain criteria throughout the year.
AAF local associations are organized into five club membership divisions by
size to ensure impartial competition, as well as facilitate communication and
networking among club leaders:
Division i
Division ii
Division iii
Division iv
Division v
500+ members
250-499 members
100-249 members
under 100 members
ad 2 clubs
First-, second-, and third-place awards are designated in each division
within each category at the discretion of the judges. A District Club and
President of the Year Award is given to the club in each division, based on
the first-, second-, and third-place awards it receives, in addition to points
accumulated during the year. A National Club and President of the Year
Award is given by AAF to a club based solely on first-, second-, and thirdplace awards received on the national level.

History
a trenDsetter froM tHe beGinninG
By the turn of the 19th century, advertising had come to be recognized as
an important and viable means of communication. The industrial movement
created the need for product and service promotion; and with this, the
advertising profession was established.
As the profession grew into an industry, practitioners became concerned
with assuring high business standards. Advertising professionals identified the
need to join together to protect and promote their trade, thus leading to the
organization of professional advertising clubs. Across the country, advertising
professionals formed local organizations to achieve the principle of promoting
and perpetuating high advertising standards. Then, as now, the American
Advertising Federation (AAF), its Districts, and local clubs provided leadership
on issues involving and affecting advertising to further advance and protect the
industry.
By 1904, local advertising clubs realized that to be most effective they
should join together. Accordingly, in 1904, the local clubs in the West formed
the Pacific Coast Advertising Men’s Association. A year later, the East Coast
clubs organized into the National Federation of Advertising Clubs. These two
regional groups evolved to become the Advertising Association of the West
(AAW) and the Advertising Federation of America (AFA).
Together they worked to raise the standards of advertising through
education and self-regulation. In the East, the AFA organized a national
vigilance committee in 1911 and launched the “truth in advertising” movement,
the forerunner to Better Business Bureaus. The AAW became involved in this
movement a year later.
After the Second World War, business and advertising expanded.
Commercial air travel and continued progress in telecommunications brought
the East and West closer together. Two regional organizations representing the
same interests became cumbersome and confusing. Pressure toward merger of
the AFA and AAW mounted.
Our national organization, AAF, did not emerge until 1967—some 19
years after our own 7th District was organized. AAF was created when the
7th District’s national organization, the AFA, merged with the AAW. A joint
convention was held in 1962 and a committee was set forth on the issue of
merger. Five years later, Advertising Association of the West joined forces
creating a unified grassroots organization for the good of advertising: the
American Advertising Federation. The result continues to be a strong national
organization that works continuously to promote and defend the advertising
industry.
a WatcHfUL eYe on tHe inDUstrY
In 1987, 20 years after AAF was founded, the National Conference was held
in Orlando, Florida. A few months prior to the convention, the state of Florida
passed a tax on advertising. AAF had a choice: move the convention, or march
on Florida.
56
District 7
Hundreds of AAF volunteers rallied during the convention and worked
untiringly afterward to encourage Florida’s legislators to rescind the ad tax,
which they did before the end of that same year.
In subsequent years, many states, including those within our own 7th
District, have continued to look at a tax on advertising. As an association, our
professional network—the 7th District, which serves the interest of advertising
in the five-state area of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Tennessee—fears the potential domino effect. The threatening impact of an ad
tax in any state may affect us. Our national organization as well as legislative
chairs within each District and each state continue to keep a watchful eye on
this potentially hazardous issue.
AAF is divided into three regions: East, Central, and West. The regions are
subdivided into 15 districts. AAF headquarters are located in Washington, D.C.,
with a Western Region office in Newport Beach, California. Today, there are over
210 advertising clubs and federations with approximately 50,000 members;
more than 135 corporate members; and 210 college chapters, all of which
represent the AAF grassroots organization.
Located in the Eastern Region, the 7th District is one of AAF’s largest
districts in both geographic and membership size. The 7th District encompasses
five states with 25 advertising clubs and federations, representing more than
3,200 advertising professionals. Today, the 7th District is considered to be one
of AAF’s most innovative and progressive Districts. Four of our former governors
have served as Chair of the AAF’s Council of Governors, including: Jim Ward
in 1976-77, Mike Gallagher in 1983-84, Linda Sherman in 1997-98 and, most
recently, Jimmy Warren in 2000-01.
By the late 1930s, what is now the 7th District was split between the 9th
District (Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee,
and southern Virginia) and the 10th District (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma,
and Texas). The 9th and 10th Districts’ national organization was then called
the AFA.
The AFA’s district structure disintegrated as the nation became involved
in World War II, and, it was the late 1940’s before the AFA began piecing itself
back together. By 1948, most of the states surrounding the current 7th District
had been organized into districts.
According to the 7th District’s first Governor, the late Harry Hoile of
Birmingham, representatives from six clubs and federations gathered in
Birmingham in November 1948. “The leadership of advertising clubs located
in Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Memphis, Mobile, and Nashville drafted
a constitution and by-laws and elected district officers. We represented some
400 club members,” Hoile recalled.
The first district convention was held in Baton Rouge in 1949, and its
delegates elected Lee Herzberg of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as second Governor.
Since its founding, the 7th District has had over 50 advertising professionals
serve as Governor. Throughout the years, the District fiscal year has changed—
most recently, in 1994. The fiscal year shall be from July 1 to June 30 in
keeping with AAF requests.
tHe UnifYinG voice for aDvertisinG
The 7th District has long reigned as a champion for the advertising industry
on all levels—local, state, and numerous national committees such as:
Academic, ADDY® Awards, By-Laws, Club Services, and Public Service.
AAF’s National Student Advertising Competition originated within the
leadership of the 7th “Deep South” District. In 1966, then Lt. Governor Fred
MacVicar and Atlanta’s Jack Bolton developed the concept. In 1967, the 7th
District, with the help of the Atlanta Ad Club, took this on as a major District
project. It was first officially named the 7th District Student Advertising
Campaign Competition. By 1969, the success of our District’s project had
caused other Districts to have similar competitions. In 1969, the AAF Council
of Governors recommended that AAF adopt this Student Advertising Campaign
Competition as a national project. AAF did so, and the first national competition
was held with an unnamed wine as the product in 1973.
This is a college-level team competition with each school team, in
effect, serving as a full-service agency. The same case study on a product
or service is presented to all competing teams to design a format, research
the market, prepare budgets, select media, and prepare an entire advertising
campaign. Teams from within the Districts from schools with AAF-affiliated
college chapters compete. Four teams from 7th District universities have won
the National Competition: in 1979 the University of Tennessee, in 1983 the
University of Georgia, in 1995 Loyola University of New Orleans, and in 2000
the University of Alabama. During the 1997 Spring Convention in Huntsville,
Alabama, the District celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Student Competition,
which originated in the 7th District. The establishment of the Bolton-MacVicar
Aid to Students Award by the competition’s two founders was announced at that
convention.
aWarDs & coMPetition are 7tH District MainstaYs
The year 1967 was a landmark for our District. Besides the merging of the
AFA and AAW into the AAF, the 7th District’s first female governor, AnnieClaire Mote of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had just completed her term. (Another
decade and a half would pass before we would elect another female to serve
as governor.) A tradition also began. District officer Otis Dodge of Birmingham,
Alabama, met an untimely death. Shocked and saddened at his drowning, the
District established the Otis Dodge Memorial Award. District officers, state
directors, club presidents, and former governors vote by secret ballot to select
the person who has contributed most significantly to the District. The award
is presented at each Annual Convention, traditionally held in the spring. The
Harry Hoile Award, named for our first governor, was established in 1991 to give
recognition to each immediate past governor for District accomplishments and
dedication.
Early District conventions were similar to current ones. Leadership
Conferences focus on club management/committee leadership to network
and exchange ideas. The 7th District was one of the first, if not the first, to
conduct such a conference. Beginning in 1968, because of its central location
and dedication to the District, the Birmingham Advertising Club was the official
conference host, and this practice continued until the early 1980s. Since then,
clubs pitch to host the District Leadership Conference, traditionally held in late
July or early August.
The Fall Board Meeting is traditionally held in mid-October or early
November and allows for a mid-year board meeting and special ADDY® Awards
workshop.
The Annual Convention conducted during the spring focuses on education
for the advertising professional. The 7th District conducts its annual election,
presents the ADDY® Awards, and hosts the Governor’s Gala for the purpose of
installing newly elected officers and directors. District officers and directors
elected during the convention take office on July 1. The Annual Convention is
traditionally held in April.
The 7th District has grown steadily since its birth, though slowly at first.
It wasn’t until 1953 that the District added its first new club since its birth in
1948. Though New Orleans was organized as an advertising association, it did
not affiliate until 1953. By 1955, the District included Jackson, Mississippi and
Tri-Cities, Tennessee. There were 11 clubs by 1958. Chattanooga, Tennessee;
Columbus, Georgia; and Montgomery, Alabama, had affiliated. Tri-Cities
dropped out but later rejoined.
In 1960, the 7th “Deep South” District counted 14 clubs with 1,300
members. New clubs included Knoxville, Tennessee; Savannah, Georgia; and
even Pensacola, Florida, which is now in the 4th District. By 1967, we had grown
to 16 clubs and 1,450 members. At that time, new clubs located in Augusta,
Georgia; Lafayette, Louisiana; and Biloxi-Gulfport, Mississippi, had affiliated.
In 1975, we claimed 19 clubs in the District. New clubs were located in
Huntsville and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and Macon and Gainesville, Georgia. The
following year, the District added its first Ad2 club—Atlanta—and senior clubs
in Muscle Shoals and Dothan, Alabama. Tri-Cities reaffiliated that same year. In
1977, Athens, Georgia, became affiliated with the 7th District, and in 1979 the
Mississippi Golden Triangle Club representing both Columbus and Tupelo joined
our District. In 1985, the Alexandria, Louisiana, club became a part of the 7th.
In 1992, the Golden Triangle Club split into two clubs, with Columbus,
Mississippi, eventually keeping the Golden Triangle name, and a new North
Mississippi Club in Tupelo joining the 7th. Other clubs that have joined in recent
years are from Hattiesburg and Greenville in Mississippi, Anniston in Alabama,
and Jackson in Tennessee. The clubs in Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Columbus (MS),
and Anniston (AL) have subsequently dropped out.
The 7th District is one of the largest in AAF, with a total of 24 clubs.
Since 1980, the District has enjoyed tremendous growth in the affiliations of
college chapters, which now number 24, making up a very important part of
our network. By the mid-’80s, the 7th District cooperated with the AAF national
network to incorporate the name “ADDY®” into our District and local club/
federation annual creative-excellence-in-advertising awards competition, and
to file for “nonprofit” status.
eqUaL rePresentation bY siZe anD interest
Other important District developments include the addition of a director for
each state to our board, which occurred during the administration of Governor
Ron Hill of Atlanta, Georgia (1977-78). In 1979-80, under Governor Arthur Curl
of Birmingham, Alabama, we expanded to include two directors per state. To
maintain the delicate voting balance, state directors were given one-half vote
each. We later amended our By-Laws to allow each state director one full
vote. State directors are responsible for assisting in the implementation of all

In 1981, Governor J. Michael Gallagher of Nashville, Tennessee, led us
to the establishment of the District office at what was then Memphis State
University, now University of Memphis, naming the room that it occupies for
former Governor Jay Fields of Tri-Cities, Tennessee. This office also pays tribute
to the 7th District Advertising Hall of Fame designates.
Governor Jan Gardner of Memphis, Tennessee (1983-84), focused on the
grassroots by establishing the Council of Presidents. Governor Ron Thompson
of New Orleans, Louisiana (1984-85), brought us the concept of District
coordinators for implementing District projects and strengthening our network
in the legislative and public-service areas.
In 1985-86, during the administration of Governor Maggie Clark of Jackson,
Mississippi, the 7th District established two important awards: the Donald G.
Hileman Memorial Award, which recognizes the District’s educator of the year,
and the Governor’s Award, which recognizes the District’s grassroots volunteer
of the year. The same year, the District Board voted to establish the District Hall
of Fame, whose membership is composed of former governors who are elected
based on their continued involvement in the 7th District beyond their term as
governor.
7tH District—ricH in traDition anD HeritaGe
During 1989-90 three new District programs were established while Trena
Packer Street of Memphis, Tennessee, was governor:
Jan Gardner Memorial Scholarship and Education Program: Funded by the
District and memorial contributions given in the honor of former Governor Jan
Gardner (1983-84). Established August 11, 1989, this ongoing fund presented
the first $1,000 scholarship at the District Convention in Chattanooga on April
7, 1990.
Student Creative Awards Competition: Designed to give expression and
outlet for talented students within the 7th District college chapters to submit
original and unpublished work, these were first presented at the District
Convention in Chattanooga on April 7, 1990. Later known as the STAR Awards
(Students Talent Advertising Recognition), this program attracted more than 400
entries submitted annually by graphic arts students within the District college
chapters.
The Alabama Advertising Educational Foundation was chartered and signed
on January 10, 1990, in a meeting in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Scholarships are
made available to students of Advertising, Commercial Art, Marketing, and
Public Relations. This was the first program of its kind.
These new programs are the result of the upthrust of many studentoriented programs put into place from the beginnings of Advertising Clubs
within the 7th District. In keeping with AAF requests, beginning in1992 under
Governor Gus Wales of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the 7th District began an
ADDY® Awards standardization process to encourage all clubs to auto-forward
all local ADDY® Awards winners.
The process has come full circle with most District clubs now autoforwarding to District and on to the National ADDY® Awards competition. In
1991, a 7th District ADDY® Awards workshop was established to be held at the
Fall Board Meeting each year.

District 7
In 1997, Governor Jimmy Warren of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, extensively
expanded the District Leadership manuals written and distributed to all
federation presidents, coordinators, and District officers. In 1998, the 7th
District celebrated its 50th Anniversary at the District Convention in Memphis.
Some 23 former governors of the 7th District attended the celebration, and a
historical video was previewed.
Governor Judy Fraser of Birmingham, Alabama, helped guide the District
into the realm of cyberspace with the establishment of the first 7th District
website, www.7thaaf.com, introduced in April 1998. With the groundwork solidly
laid, Governor Sheree Farrar Harper of Columbus, Georgia, further established
the Internet as the major communication vehicle for the District. Officers,
state directors, and coordinators begin utilizing e-mail as a main source of
“meetings,” and a mass e-mail communication network for the District was set
up in 1999.
In 2001, during the consecutive governorships of James Belton of
Montgomery, Alabama, and Charlie East of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the 7th
District developed and established a program through which District clubs
in genuine need of financial assistance can receive a loan from the District.
An application form is available, and terms are negotiable, depending on the
individual club’s situation.
In 2002, former 7th District Governor Charlie Malone of Clarksville,
Tennessee, was presented AAF’s prestigious Barton A. Cummings Gold Medal
Award at the AAF National Conference in Miami. The award annually honors
one distinguished individual for his/her volunteer service to advertising through
work with AAF.
The 7th “Deep South” District is unique in its enthusiasm and dedication.
Educational programs throughout the District advertising community are
constantly expanding, financed by ADDY® Awards, special fundraising events,
grants and memorials, and other enterprising action. The underlying purpose of
it all is to encourage the bright and gifted students and give financial lift where
needed.
Rich in tradition and known for its pioneering spirit and innovation, the 7th
District remains alert to the needs of today and the future of the advertising
industry as it continues to be the “Unifying Voice for Advertising.”
The University of Alabama student team won the National Student
Advertising Competition in 2000 when the New York Times was the sponsor/
client. Also in 2000, Jimmy Warren (Tuscaloosa) became the fourth 7th District
representative elected as Chair of AAF’s Council of Governors. Others who have
occupied this office from the 7th District are: James Ward (Nashville) 1976-77,
Michael Gallagher (Nashville)1983-84, and Linda Sherman (Nashville) 1997-98.
Former Governors remain involved and active in the District. In 2003, the
former Governors hosted the Spring Convention in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Former
Governors also meet annually and judge the Club Achievement and Club of the
Year Competition entries. Former Governor Charlie Malone (Nashville) wrote a
history of the District’s student activities including student chapters and the
student advertising competition. And Former Governor Bruce Roche (Tuscaloosa)
researched and wrote a history of AAF’s first 100 years at the request of AAF as
part of their National Convention and 100th Anniversary.
In 2004 former Governor Jimmy Warren (Tuscaloosa) was inducted into the
7th District Hall of Fame. In the same year the STAR Awards were replaced with
the Student ADDY® Awards, and it became a three-tier national competition.
The horrific Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in the fall of 2005,
devastating ad federations in New Orleans, Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Mobile.
The businesses and homes of many ad fed members were destroyed or heavily
damaged. The district provided assistance to clubs to help in the recovery
effort.
Nashville hosted AAF’s National Conference in 2005 and also established
an AD II club the same year.
In 2006-2007, a new and exciting way for our clubs to be awarded Club
of the Year began under the governorship of Vicki Mills from Macon, Georgia.
In the past, the Club Achievement competition single-handedly produced the
Club of the Year winner. While Club Achievement is still a major component
of the competition, the Club(s) of the Year are awarded for overall excellence
in club management and in specific areas by allocating points for successes
throughout the year.
Also in 2007, former Governor Jimmy Warren of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was
presented AAF’s Barton A. Cummings Gold Medal Award at the AAF National
Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, becoming only the second member of the
7th District to be bestowed such an honor.
In 2007-2008, Governor Michele Massey from Tuscaloosa established
the Charlie Malone NSAC Assistance Fund. The fund was named after former
Governor Charlie Malone in honor of his service to the District and his
dedication to students. The first check in the amount of $1000 was presented
to Savannah College of Art and Design at Spring Convention in Tuscaloosa.
Also that year in an effort to solidify and further strengthen the value
of AAF, the 7th District supported the national organization in its branding
initiative by officially changing the name of the District to AAF District 7 under
Governor Massey.
By National Convention in Atlanta in June 2008, a total of 77 clubs and
Districts had officially adopted the AAF–X brand in their name. Proudly our
District and 15 of our clubs were part of the first to support AAF in this
endeavor. The clubs were:
AAF Baton Rouge
AAF Birmingham
AAF Central Georgia
AAF Chattahoochee Valley
AAF Chattanooga
AAF Dothan
AAF Jackson, MS
AAF Knoxville
AAF Mobile Bay
AAF Montgomery
AAF Northeast Tennessee
AAF Tuscaloosa
AAF West Tennessee
During her term, Governor Jacobus continued the initiative of AAF to
encourage all clubs to adopt the AAF branding strategy. By end of her term, 22
out of 23 clubs that are represented in AAF District 7 had branded with AAF.
In 2009-2010, Governor Curtis Vann of Baton Rouge began his year with
a joint Leadership Conference with District 4 in Destin, FL. This joint venture
with over 200 attendees was one of the largest Leadership conferences in the
history of the District. Also during Curtis’ term we embraced the Social Media
revolution by establishing a Twitter account, Facebook page, and LinkedIn
group.
During the 2010-2011 year with Laura Burton serving as Governor, the
Executive Committee changed the current structure by removing the position of
Lt. Governor Communications and redistributing those responsibilities to other
Executive Committee portfolios. The district membership voted to transition
from State Directors to Regional Directors, to allow for a better distribution
of Director to Club responsibility, and to increase district dues from $6 to $8.
Former Governor Sherri Sawyer was inducted into the AAF District 7 Hall of
Fame.
Shortly after the year started came the announcement of an ADDY®
Awards fee increase from AAF that District 7 embraced and came out on top.
Of the ten clubs with the greatest percentage increase in professional ADDY®
Awards entries from the previous year, four were in District 7 including AAF
Chattanooga, AAF Central Georgia, AAF West Tennessee, and AAF Mobile Bay.
Also, AAF Chattanooga and AAF Central Georgia had their AAF annual dues
100% waived for the 2011-2012 year in recognition of having the highest
percentage increase in their Division nationally.
The Executive Committee established the AAF District 7 Bolton MacVicar
National Best Presenter Award to be given annually at ADMERICA! (formerly
known as AAF National Convention) and includes a cash prize of $500.
Additionally a Former Governor Facebook page was created.

2008-2009 marked the 60th anniversary of District 7 with the first Hispanic
Governor, Kathy Jacobus from Chattanooga, Tennessee presiding. Governor
Jacobus developed a minority MOSAIC scholarship which was awarded to a
student in the amount of $1000 at Spring Convention.

Guidelines for Hosting District 7 Meetings & Conventions
The purpose of this information is to provide basic facts for hosting any one of
three meetings held annually by the American Advertising Federation District 7:
April—District Convention; July—Leadership Conference; October—Fall Board
Meeting. Hosting a District conference is an excellent team-building effort and
may also become a fundraising special event for your advertising federation.
Please be sure to inform the current Conventions and Meetings
Coordinator, Historian, and District Governor of your pitching, promotion, and
plans for all conferences.
Bids to host District meetings are usually pitched no less than two years
prior and usually pitched at the same conference you are vying to host. When
pitching, promoting or hosting a District conference…practice what we preach…
be creative, clever, concise, and to the point. Involve your club members.
Hosting a District meeting is a great membership booster and image-builder for
your club—plus, you could immensely help your club’s bottom line budget.
Promote your convention at all prior meetings. The winning club hosts
a night in the hospitality suite (both physically and financially) at the two
conventions prior to your convention. Involve your club members.
By securing sponsors of your conference, you will help attendees with
expense, plus possibly increase your income over expenses for your club
budget. District 7 has a potential reach of 3,500 members in five states—
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The national
headquarters of the parent organization, American Advertising Federation, are
located in Washington, D.C.
The District newsletter, website, promotional emails, and conference print
literature are necessary to inform and promote the event.
Publicity, advertising, and graphics are important. Draft a creative team
for preparing all the logos!
• Set a Preliminary Budget
• Set Registration Fee
Rough Guidelines:
Fall Board $150-$200
Convention $225-$350
Leadership $225-$300
• Determine Creative
• Select Hotel Site
• Set Dates
Guidelines:
Fall Board Late October
Convention 2nd-3rd week in April
Leadership 3rd-4th week in July
(Note: National AAF Convention is in mid-June annually; the Western Region
Convention which the Governor and Governor-Elect attend is in mid-late
October. Check dates for conflicts.)
• Form committees: publicity, accommodations, off-site entertainment,
on-site entertainment, workshops, speakers, registration, transportation,
sponsorships, goodie bags, name badges, finance committee, guest

District 7
entertainment, creative concept, printing and mailing, decorations, audio/visual,
hospitality suite, and other committee chairs as needed. Committees may be
determined by the meeting you are hosting.
Example: Convention requires a host club committee coordinator
for Student Competition and ADDY® Awards to liaison with the District
coordinator. Convention also requires a Governor’s Gala chair to work with
incumbent Governor.
Leadership requires a host club committee coordinator to liaison with the
Immediate Past District Governor (Chairman) to coordinate workshop speakers.
Leadership also requires a Mouth of the South (MOS) coordinator (guidelines
and sample ballot can be found on pages 67-68).
Fall Board requires a host club committee coordinator to liaison with the
District ADDY® Awards workshop chair.
• Appoint a Chair and Co-Chair
• Secure Sponsors. Over the past several years, clubs hosting District
meetings or conventions have netted from $1,000 to more than $8,000 for their
club treasury. This income over expenses is gained by sponsors to offset cost of
meals and speaker expenses, plus good attendance. Make sure there is proper
signage of their sponsorship on-site, and in the program.
• Secure a Printer/Contributor
• Select Speakers
• Review specific requirements as it relates to hosting a Fall Board
Meeting, District Convention, or Leadership Conference. This information
appears later in this directory.
There are many experienced folks who’ll be glad to lend a helping
hand such as Regional Directors, Lt. Governors, the entire District Executive
Committee, and many former Governors.
Currently (2011), District 7 allocates money to help your club get started.
Seed money is available for start-up and must be returned to District, once your
funding begins: Leadership seed–$1000; Convention seed–$1500; Fall Board
seed–$500.
Keep your registration fee reasonable with sponsorship and remember
registration is not the only cost to someone attending a District meeting.
There’s also travel and hotel expenses. Whenever possible, a special former
governor’s rate should be offered.
Stay in close touch with the District Governor, Historian, and Executive
Committee as well—if you need help, someone from the Executive Committee,
Historian, or the Meetings & Conventions Coordinator will be glad to come to
meet with you.
Promote the conferences as part of on-the-job personal development—
provide the necessary information to get management to pay the
registration fee.
Most meetings have at least one event away from the hotel site. Keep
room rental and transportation costs in mind when planning off-site event.
Consider arranging a separate fee for a spouse or guest outing as this may also
add to your income over expenses.
Most advertising federations are NOT tax exempt. Clubs usually do not pay
income tax, but do file a tax return and pay state sales tax.
Make sure gratuities, bartender fees, and sales taxes are in the budget.
Be sure your individual workshop or meal ticket prices total more than
your registration fee!
Secure facts from the previous conferences/conventions chairperson or
hotel that will help set guidelines for your conference.
Hold your regular monthly membership meeting jointly with District 7
meeting to give your club and District members a chance to become better
acquainted. Work with your club’s speaker budget, coupled with sponsorship
dollars gained by hosting the meeting, and bring in a dynamite speaker.
MaiLinGs
Send mailings to District members, at least three months out and again
one month out. Get the dates and info on their calendars quickly.
Use the District newsletter and website. Consult with Regional Directors,
Club Presidents, District Governor, Historian, and Executive Director of your
club to send letter mailing to their counterparts throughout District 7.
Cash bars are acceptable at food functions.
At Convention, students who participate in District may be under age.
Please do NOT offer alcoholic beverages at any functions where students are in
attendance (opening night reception, and the reception following NSAC where
the winning team is announced). It is imperative the host club enforce state
“drinking age” guidelines in the District Hospitality Suite and provide a sign
posted in the suite stating such.
Negotiate with the hotel to bring in your own alcoholic and non-alcoholic
beverages for hospitality suite—usually a private suite. Contact the next two
host clubs to pay a nominal fee (est. $125 for Fall Board, $200 for Spring
Convention, and $250 for Leadership) toward the suite. Traditionally, the club
hosting the next convention will host the hospitality suite on Saturday night
as promotion for their upcoming conference. The club hosting the conference
following that traditionally hosts the hospitality suite on Friday night. The
host club for the current convention should invoice the clubs for the next two
upcoming conventions for their share of the hospitality suite.

“Mouth of the South” competition may be held Friday or Saturday evening.
Ideally, it is held in a “club” atmosphere with a stage, however, a “platform
stage” at the hotel is acceptable. Please refer to the “Mouth of the South”
guidelines in this directory.
Entertainment for the other evening is up to host club. Thursday evening
is usually a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres.
LeaDersHiP sPeaKers
Workshop speakers are coordinated by the Immediate Past Governor/
Chairman. Speakers for breakfasts and luncheons are at your discretion. There
are usually two breakfasts and two luncheons during Leadership. If your club
holds its regular meeting during Conference, you may work from your speaker
budget for one meeting. Consider your theme and the title of the conference
you are hosting before you select speakers. Speaker expense can make or
break your budget.

District payment.
• NSAC Hotel. The District student competition coordinator arranges
for the judges for NSAC. District pays for the judges’ airfare and
hotel rooms. Club involvement is in knowing you will have at least

Mouth of the South competition Guidelines
aboUt “MoUtH of tHe soUtH”
“Mouth of the South” is the annual AAF District 7 lip-sync competition.
Since beginning in 1985, the “Mouth of the South” competition has become
one of District 7’s most anticipated annual events. Held each year at the
District’s summer Leadership Conference, “Mouth of the South” provides an
opportunity for member clubs to compete against one another in an “almost
anything goes” exhibition of showmanship and creativity. It is also THE most
entertaining event of each District 7 year. “Mouth of the South” is a highly
competitive contest among District clubs and the annual title is a greatly
coveted distinction.
In order to make the competition equitable for all participating clubs,
the following rules and regulations must be adhered to by all entrants.
titLe seLection anD eLiGibiLitY
1. No single song title may be performed in whole, or in part, by more
than one entrant in the same competition. Song titles must be reserved
in advance through a designated person from the host club. Titles will
be approved for only the first club requesting the title.
2. The host club can not compete. They may participate, however, by
presenting an exhibition performance.
3. Presentations may not exceed five (5) minutes. Material longer than
five (5) minutes in its original form must be edited to conform. The host
club will provide an official timekeeper who will stop the CD at five
minutes if the performance is not complete.
4. Segments of more than one title may be edited together as long as
the total time of the presentation does not exceed five (5) minutes.
5. Recording of original lyrics and/or music is allowed.
6. A spoken introduction (voice only), not to exceed thirty seconds (:30),
will be allowed prior to each presentation. Introduction may be
written for delivery by the Master of Ceremonies, or delivered by any
person designated by the competing club. Introduction must be LIVE.
No music will be allowed during the introduction unless the introduction
is to be included within the five-minute MOS presentation.
7. The order of presentation shall be determined by random drawing in
the presence of a representative of each competing club prior to noon
on the day of the competition at a time and place designated by the
host club.
8. Each participating club will provide two (2) standard CDs of the
music for their presentation to the MOS Chairperson at the time that the
drawing for order of presentation is held.

Never underestimate the enduring power of print!
Research shows direct mail brings in 78% of donations for non-profits and campaigns combining
direct mail and internet yield up to 25% higher response rates than the internet alone.
Not bad for being stuffed and mounted.
From direct mail to magazines, brochures, posters and more, let us help you make print pay off.
