Ad 2 Phoenix - Membership

Committees

How do I get involved?
Ad 2 Phoenix is dedicated to improving the knowledge, ability and professionalism of its members. Although enthusiastic attendance at events is the norm, members are encouraged to join one of the club's standing committees. There are many ways to get involved with Ad 2 Phoenix.

First,
attend the next Ad 2 Phoenix event to meet current members and receive more information. The club generally holds an evening networking social designed around an interesting, timely industry topic.
