What a fantastic time in Austin for - can’t wait to incorporate our learnings into this upcoming year!

We had a chance to network with our peers across AAF, celebrate our D12 Executive Director Justine Newland and cheer on University of Phoenix for their national silver ADDY award.

And on the last night… we even got treated to a beautiful sunset at the Bat Bridge

Thanks to everyone who came out for our May event with the 4As! We're especially appreciative of our panelists and moderator, Lori Bartle, for making the event a great success.
