During the Year-End Membership Meeting + Town Hall on December 5, 2023, the AAF Fort Worth (AAF-FW) Board of Directors announced changes to the Corporate Membership structure. These changes are designed to provide local agencies and in-house marketing departments greater flexibility and value in joining the organization.

Previously, the Corporate Membership allowed five individuals, including one Executive Member, with exclusive benefits for a $1,000 annual fee. Recognizing that larger teams in the area require more than five individuals under one plan, the Board has voted to split the Corporate Membership into three tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

More Options, More Access

Each tier offers increased member participation opportunities and exclusive perks that boost the Corporate Member’s brand exposure. All three tiers comprise an increasing number of individuals who are considered Professional Members of AAF-FW and AAF National.
