The Chicago Advertising Federation (CAF) is proud to announce Judy Toland as the 2025 CAF Advertising Woman of the Year. Judy is the Vice President of Global Audience Marketing at Meta.

The annual Advertising Woman of the Year Award program began in 1958 as a way to recognize women in the Chicago advertising community who contribute greatly to both her company and the industry at large, advance the practice of advertising through her development of concepts and innovations and foster the growth and development of others.
