This year’s milestone event marks the 15th anniversary of District Two’s Diversity Achievement Awards, and the 10th anniversary of the AAF Mosaic Awards. The program has been presented jointly by AAF and District Two since 2004.

Creating an inclusive advertising industry has been a priority of the AAF for nearly two decades. During this time, the AAF has committed a substantial portion of its resources to achieve this objective by investing in a myriad of programs that promote and advance multiculturalism and diversity within the advertising industry. 

The Diversity Achievement and Mosaic Awards Luncheon & Forum is part of AAF’s programming designed to celebrate diversity and provide opportunities for advancement in the advertising industry. Each year hundreds of advertising industry thought leaders convene for this program to interact with their peers and demonstrate their company’s commitment to inclusion and diversity. 

This year’s recipients have embraced advanced marketing techniques and business practices, and developed diversity initiatives that not only help improve the bottom line, but also secure a relevant role in a corporate environment of inherent change.
