Ellen Cook, President at The Integer Group in Dallas
The Frontiers of Flight Museum was the venue for the 2018 Dallas Shining Stars Gala on June 21st hosted by AAF Dallas. This was the second year for the program that encourages peers from the Dallas ad community to nominate their favorite advertising woman to the status of Dallas Shining Star. The nominees included COO, EVP, President, Principal, Founder and other lofty titles from top companies in DFW.
The event celebrated amazing women doing amazing things in Dallas Advertising. AAF Dallas believes that ambition, work ethic, creativity and leadership are qualities to celebrate and elevate and that it’s time the nation recognizes our city for the talented advertising market that it is. So the AAF Dallas Shining Stars program will live on.
