Public Service

AAF Suncoast is focused on shaping a better community for all -- not just the advertising industry.

Public Service Committee

The ADDY Committee is responsible for managing all aspects of the AAF Suncoast's ADDY Awards including award submission, judging process, securing sponsors, creative and design, event planning and promotion. The ADDYs are the only national three-tiered industry award competition where you can submit your work on the local level and it can result in national recognition.

Potential ADDY Committee members should have an interest in event planning, show production, developing an integrated theme through graphic design and copywriting and engaging attendees through social media campaigns.

The Plastic Brigade

The Plastic Brigade is an AAF District 4 public service project that strives to clean up waterways and beaches in Florida and the Caribbean. Its purpose is to reduce the environmental impact of plastics. The Plastic Brigade brings together a volunteer team of advertising professionals and affiliate organizations that, together, promote sustainable packaging, recycling and proper plastic disposal. 

AAF Suncoast, in the past, has supported this cause because our community’s award-winning natural attractions are cherished by locals and sought-after destinations for out-of-town visitors. Club members and volunteers can attack the plastic invasion littering our beaches and emerald green waters through a series of community cleanup events.
