Erie Advertising Club becomes Advertising Federation of Northwest Pennsylvania
August 13 2008
After more than six decades as the premier organization for marketing and communications professionals in the region, the Erie Advertising Club is changing its name, increasing its reach and strengthening its vision as it becomes the Advertising Federation of Northwestern Pennsylvania.
"In a business as dynamic as ours, it's absolutely critical to keep our membership organization fresh and current," said Rebecca Styn, president of the Advertising Federation of NWPA. "Our new name and logo reflect a strong commitment to increasing the Ad Fed's reach by encouraging participation by professionals from across Northwest Pennsylvania while continually enhancing our programs and services to help us all keep up with this fast-paced industry."
The Federation's new logo, programming, upcoming events and membership options will be announced Wednesday, August 27 during "Brews & Dues", a special event at The Brewerie at Union Station (123 W. 14th Street) in Erie beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event is open to individuals in any industry with an interest in media, advertising or marketing communications.
"In addition to learning about the Ad Fed, the 'Brews & Dues' event will offer a unique networking opportunity for the region's advertising and marcom professionals," Styn added, "not to mention an opportunity to enjoy The Brewerie's tremendous hand-crafted beer, Pennsylvania craft beers and local wines."
Interested individuals are asked to RSVP by Aug. 22 to 814.451.8677 or online at afnwpa.org
