3 Ways to Get More Involved with AAEA

Have you ever wanted to play a more active role with AAEA? Currently, there are three great ways for you to get involved with the association, which will allow you to help shape the direction of the association, as well as the implementation of new products and services.

Volunteer to be part of an AAEA Committee

Members interested in shaping the future of AAEA can play an essential role by serving on an association committee. Committees work with the AAEA Executive Board, AAEA Staff, and other AAEA members on the strategy and implementation of a specific aspect of the association. Committee service also offers an excellent opportunity for developing contacts and increasing professional networking.

To learn more about what committees are looking for new members and how to volunteer, read the full Call for Committee Volunteers. If you're interested, be sure to contact AAEA by May 3.

Become an Editor

AAEA is in the process of looking for an editor for two of its publications. Both AEPP and Choices have openings on their editorial teams. Becoming an editor allows you to both shape the content published by AAEA, as well as increase your professional recognition.

Vote in the Executive Board Election
