We at AAF-Houston recognize many things

We recognize that our organization was established in 1911 by advertising professionals from all walks of life.

We recognize that Houston represents the best example of how diversity and inclusion can work.

We recognize that diversity and inclusion mean nothing without participation and representation.

We recognize that our success, as a club and as a nation, is dependent on the opportunities we provide.

It is our professional, civic, and human duty to stand against the racism that has played a role in prohibiting our Black communities from having equal opportunities, privileges, and rights. Along with our national organization, AAF-Houston vows to uphold our mission of being the “Unifying Voice for Advertising” by creating platforms for education and conversation that will lead to improved communication, increased awareness, and a new level of understanding and respect for all communities of color and under-represented communities.

At AAF-Houston, we are not lost in the controversy of now, we can see the horizon and the road that will take us there.

Please join us on our journey.
