A Message from our President, Tom Keeler - September 2008

In advertising, we are always discouraged from using clichés when writing copy. In so doing, I think we underestimate the meaning of phrases we have heard our entire lives. As a kid, like most kids, I always himmed and hawed when it came to piano lessons, foreign language classes, three-a-day workouts, and so forth - all the while I would hear my parents tell me, "you get out of it what you put into it." That phrase, although a cliché, is going to be my theme as president of AAF Madison this year. Read more.
