About WAGA

What is it about the game of golf and the advertising business that excites us so much?  Is it the people?  Certainly, and the enjoyment we get from playing a top-quality golf course where we’re challenged and pampered all at the same time.  In the ad game, it’s the camaraderie of joining others who are trying to make an impact in marketing, media or sales.
 
If you want to enjoy your summer of golf, you’ll want to become a member of the Western Advertising Golf Association (WAGA).  WAGA was founded in 1906 as an organization of marketing professionals dedicated to promoting fellowship in the Chicago advertising community.  Every month from May through October, we play golf at some of the area’s most exclusive clubs, and enjoy the chance to meet new friends in the ad industry who share our love for this great game.  Our membership carry handicaps from 0 to 40, so everyone should feel comfortable regardless of the level they play.
  
If you sell media or marketing services, WAGA is a great way to access elite private clubs and entertain your clients.  For marketers and ad agencies, come network with your peers and keep abreast of industry news and what’s hot in the ad game today.  WAGA is the place where you can meet the ad people you’ve always wanted to get to know.
 
How do you join?  Please send us an email, and we'll let you know next steps.
