AAIA's Council of Advisors

​In 2013, AAIA was pleased to expand its Advisory Board into a Council of Advisors.  The Council is comprised of individuals who are interested in furthering the work of the Association.  They hold a wealth of knowledge and various interests, and are prominent in their own fields.  The Council’s primary initiatives consist of raising the profile of the AAIA's work, assisting in planning our fundraising events, and supporting AAIA to network with individuals who can assist AAIA programmatically and financially.  AAIA is grateful for the support of its Council of Advisors.
