Relationship to Ad Club
Relationship to Ad Club
As our parent organization, the San Diego Ad Club is very closely affiliated with Ad2 SD. We are invited to any Ad Club event, at an Ad2 discount. We mingle with them at social events and learn with them at educational ones. We graduate to Ad Club once we turn 33 years old. Essentially, we are their younger counterparts and have the exciting opportunity to learn from their experience and knowledge, while growing with the successes of ourselves and our peers in Ad2.
