ADVAN elects new Executive Committee members

The AGM event featured an interactive session amongst key stakeholders on trending industry issues such as among other things, role of regulatory agencies, the likes of APCON and NAFDAC in shaping course of advancement of the advertising practice as well as how to better improve upon communications mode among industry practitioners.
