The 2008 AAF-District 10 Summer Leadership Conference will be held in Abilene, Sept. 18-20. Attracting participants from the four-state region of Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, the conference will feature both professional development and club development speakers and workshops.
Chad Rea, one of the featured speakers, began his award-winning career creating and designing for some of the world’s hottest creative shops where he worked on more than 100 iconic brands including Coca-Cola, Adidas and Hummer. Inspired by his world travels and past brand-building experience, Chad formed 86 the Onions, a prolific brand communications firm specializing in youth and entertainment brands. This company pioneered the industry’s movement to media-neutral problem-solving, creating innovative marketing solutions for several high-profile clients including Target, Mountain Dew, SoBe, ESPN X Games, Starbucks and Virgin Records.
In March 2007, at the height of his company’s success, Chad answered his true calling and created ecopop, an in-house incubator of intellectual property designed to instigate positive change. (For more information, visit chadrea.com or go to ecopop.com.)
Other speakers include Emmy Award-winning reporter Jeff Crilley, as well as professional development workshops on "True Colors," Goal-Setting and Attaining, Research, Trade Show Insights, and Jingles; and club development workshops on ADDYs and How to Host a Conference/Convention.
