ENGAGE
On July 12th – an email will be coming to all presidents from AAF National about Engage. They need each club to designate an administrator:
- Once they have the administrator’s information in the system, they will provide the administrator with more information about how to get educated on the system and how to use it
- They are producing a FAQ sheet and videos to watch on demand
- They will also help the Admins update their rosters
At Admerica in New Orleans, National American Advertising Awards were outstanding! Three words really stood out: Narcos Spanish Lessons

>> Governor Diversity Challenge <<
A challenge to all members to go out and cross the lines
As many of you recall, Baton Rouge had an especially tough year in 2016. There was a torrential flood and a series of devastating shootings in the community on the heels of shootings in Dallas, Texas. As a community, we still struggle with exactly how to move forward. But move forward we will.
I urge each of the clubs to reach out and perform a community service, attend a community event, or simply go and do something with a group of people who are different from you. There will be a cash reward to the club that makes a significant impact regarding this challenge.
