The Club Achievement Awards are presented annually at the Spring Convention to clubs that display exceptional accomplishments. Awards are presented on both the District and the National level. Every year, District 7 and AAF honor top clubs in five categories:

1. Club Operations
2. Membership Development & Communications
3. Programs
4. Cornerstone Events & Initiatives (American Advertising Awards, Diversity & Multiculturalism, Government Relations, Advertising Education)
5. Public Service

Additionally, a club of the year is chosen in each division based on overall excellence. While club achievement is a major component of the Club of the Year competition, clubs also earn points for fulfilling certain criteria throughout the year.

AAF clubs are organized into five membership divisions by size to ensure equitable competition, as well as facilitate communication and networking among club leaders:

Division I 500+ members

Division II 250-499 members

Division III 100-249 members

Division IV fewer than 100 members

Division V Ad 2 Clubs

Additionally, a National Club and President of the Year Award is given by AAF to a club in each division based on National Club Achievement and Ovation Awards points.
