A Note From Leadership

 

AAF- Members & Friends,

 

Over the past few weeks, our Executive Committee has been tasked with adapting to the changing environment while still providing programs and initiatives that are valuable to you. We want to pause and say thank you to this passionate team for their hard work and continued commitment to our members!

In this newsletter, you will find all of the initiatives and programs our team as planned for you. This includes a free webinar for mental health awareness month with UofL Psychologist and Assistant Professor, Dr. Liz Cash, and information on our updated signature event, Day at the Downs.

It goes without saying that we can't do anything without our amazing volunteers, and it is now time we start to build next year's team. If you have ever thought about growing your leadership skills and are passionate about the local community and communications industry, give us a shout at info@aaflouisville.org.

 

Stay safe and be well.
