We've just come off our third straight successful year at HAF. The advertising industry is vibrant and so is the club. HAF became even stronger this past year as over 20 firms signed on as corporate members, recognizing that their commitment to the advertising industry makes us stronger as a whole.
Along with District 13 and Ad2 Honolulu, we've brought some very fine programming to Hawaii including Sally Hogshead and Bill Haggett at our first HAF Conference and the Creative/Juiced series. Our education commitment continues by facilitating scholarship opportunities and supporting Hawaii's entry into the National Student Advertising Competition. And, the Pele Awards was very successful this year with a record number of entries. Now that's a vibrant advertising community.
The above are all great reasons to join, support and be involved with HAF. If you make your living from the advertising industry in Hawaii, you will make us even stronger with your participation.
Look at the HAF as a window, a window that will inform and inspire you, help you with your professional development and connect you to an eclectic, imaginative and energetic group of people that are HAF.
Aloha, Paul Lam, 2007-2008 HAF President
