Dear Fellow D3 AAFers:

As we close out this year in District 3, I would like to say how honored I has been to serve as your governor and how proud I am of the clubs in our district.  Once again at ADmerica we showed our “small but mighty” presence.  Our clubs brought home the hardware as well as the financial incentives from continued growth. I mentioned the specific awards in my previous letter but it made me excited to see our winners seated at the awards dais and get paraded out in front of all of the other clubs.  In addition, I was also ecstatic to see our own, University of Virginia, win the National Student Advertising Competition.

In addition we will continue to see D3 presented on the national board of AAF.  Shelley Magee becomes the Chair of the Council of Governors, Margaret Gregory will be the Chair of the Eastern Region, Ace Evans was elected to be the board member representing all clubs in division 2 and I will be the incoming Treasurer for the Council of Governors.  No other district will have the kind of representation we will have to reflect the views of our members and clubs.

I want to thank all of volunteers for a successful year and appreciate all of the hard work you did to make this such a successful year.  Next year promises to be even better as our new officers are already hard at work planning a great district conference.  Remember that the district is here to help and support your club so please reach out and utilize these resources.   Have a great summer and I look forward to seeing everyone at the district conference in Charlotte during August.

David
