IPAF Silver Medal Committee Presents 2010 Silver Medal Award
The American Advertising Federation's Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering the industry's standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Annually, the Imperial Polk Advertising Federation bestows this honor upon outstanding members of the local advertising community.
For the Imperial Polk Advertising Federation, awarding the AAF Silver Medal is one of the highlights of our year. Awarding the Medal enhances the image of advertising by recognizing a locally well-known person for their advertising and community involvement.
