The mission of the American Advertising Federation

District 7 is to strengthen local AAF affiliate

organizations—including club, federation and college

chapter members—through leadership training,

education, communication, idea forums, enrichment

and recognition programs; to promote advertising

industry standards; to encourage professional

development; to enhance and encourage business

opportunities for professional and student members;

to defend the advertising industry against adverse

governmental action; and to act as a liaison between

national AAF and local chapters to ensure the vitality of

the advertising profession.

AAF’s National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) is the premier college advertising competition. It provides more than 3,000 college students with real-world experience by requiring a strategic advertising/marketing/media campaign for a 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 four places in the national competition.

NsAc Assistance Fundcharlie Malone

The District Executive Committee established the Charlie Malone NSAC Assistance Fund in 2007. The fund was named after former Governor Charlie Malone in honor of his service to the District and his dedication to students. Voluntary contributions are collected during the year and are given to the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) team that wins the District competition at Spring Convention. The funds are used to aid with travel expenses to the NSAC finals held annually at the AAF National America! Conference.

National studentAdvertising competition


The Student Advertising Competition was created in District 7 in 1967 by Governor Fred MacVicar and Jack Bolton, President of the Atlanta Advertising Club. 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.

The Bolton-MacVicar Award consists of a plaque with the names of the recipients and a certificate signed by Bolton and MacVicar to be presented to each recipient annually for 20 years. The first award was presented at the 1998 Leadership Conference.

The Governor’s Medal is ordered by the Governor-Elect for the outgoing Governor, and the presentation is made at the annual District Convention by the Governor-Elect (the person being installed as Governor the same night the award is presented to the outgoing Governor).

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.

2013 Richard Joel Best Presenter Award - Johnny Sciortino, LSU

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.

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.

This award, established in October 1985, is totally coordinated and funded by former District Governors. The award is usually presented annually at the Summer Leadership Conference. The award is also known as the “The Volunteer of the Year” award. The call for nominations is usually sent out in April/May. The Governor’s Award chairman is the three-years-removed Governor. The judging committee is composed of a minimum of five past governors to be determined by the award chairman. Nominations are sent to all former governors, regional directors, presidents and officers. The verbal presentation is made by the former Governor four-years-removed.

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.

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 500+ members Division II 250-499 membersDivision III 100-249 membersDivision IV under 100 membersDivision V 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 third-place awards received on the national level.

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. 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.

District 7

History


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, Annie-Claire 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 District activities within their respective state and work within the portfolio of the Governor-Elect. 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 student-oriented 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 auto-forwarding 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. 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 Mississippi Delta AAF Birmingham AAF Mississippi Gulf Coast AAF Central Georgia AAF Mobile Bay AAF Chattahoochee Valley AAF Montgomery AAF Chattanooga AAF Northeast Tennessee AAF Dothan AAF Tuscaloosa AAF Jackson, MS AAF West Tennessee AAF Knoxville

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. 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. During the term of Governor AJ Busé (2012-2013), the Nashvillian embraced his musical abilities and dubbed his theme as Sing Your S.O.N.G. emphasizing students, organization, networking and growth. He also established AND funded the first cash prize for the Best of Show in the Student ADDY competition in the amount of $5,000.00 ($500 per year for 10 years). Under his leadership the criteria for the district Mosaic Scholarship was expanded to include all GLBT students as well. Other milestones for the year included the national appointment of former Governor Michele Massey to Vice Chair of the National American Advertising Awards committee by AAF Chairman and CEO Jim Datri. The year also marked the election of AJ Busé to the executive committee of the National Council of Governors. AJ is the first Governor from District 7 to hold this position since Jimmy Warren was elected in 1998. AJ is slated to be Chair of the council in 2016.

GuiDeLiNes For HostiNGDistrict 7 MeetiNGs & coNVeNtioNsThe 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 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.

District 7 NAtioNAL stuDeNt ADVertisiNG coMPetitioN (NsAc) • Consult with Governor or Lt. Governor of Education Portfolio for Student Competition coordinator name. Designate a person to work with coordinator. Your A/V coordinator also interacts. The student competition budget is set by District, separate from your convention budget. You are responsible only for coordinating meeting rooms, per AAF requirements, plus set up two rooms (preferably to hold 100-125 people each, same size/same design if possible). Be sure to include the students and their advisers in your plans. Expect 10-15 competing schools, 12 people each to attend the Thursday evening ‘opening’ reception (for students, advisers, and convention attendees).

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 four rooms for two nights (Thurs/Fri) in your room reservation list. The District NSAC budget also covers judges’ food during competition Friday. Arrange for separate billing for District student competition coordinator.

Audio/visual is coordinated by your club chairman with the District ADDY® Awards chairman and expense is paid by ADDY® Awards host club. If ADDY® Awards event is held away from convention hotel site, be sure to include room rental and transportation costs, plus possibly additional A/V support.

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.

more than one entrant in the same competition. Song titles must

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

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

order of performance by club name and performance title.

Each voting club will submit its completed ballot marking “1”

for its first-place vote, “2” for its second-place vote, and “3”

for its third-place vote. Only one official ballot will be accepted

from each voting club, regardless of how many fully-registered
