ABOUT THE AAF CENTRAL REGION CONFERENCE

The AAF Central Region Conference (CRC) is a bi-annual conference specific to AAF club members within the Central Region — but absolutely open to all members of AAF. The AAF Districts represented by the Central Region include Districts 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

 

This conference encourages AAF members from different Districts to gather together, share ideas, and meet fellow AAF members they may not have had the opportunity to meet otherwise.
