Signature Boston
Along with the IAEE Board of Directors, the association is comprised of councils, committees and task forces, all created to fulfill IAEE’s strategic initiatives. IAEE members are critical in shaping the future of the association and the industry, and with your help, we are confident that IAEE will continue to grow and influence decision makers both inside and outside of the industry.
IAEE values its volunteer leaders and offers a variety of opportunities for involvement including councils, committees, task forces and short-term ad hoc projects. There is a separate process for the Board of Directors. Through the volunteer leader selection process, IAEE works to identify the best committee for the volunteers strengths and skills to foster continued engagement to ensure IAEE continues to meet member needs.
The incoming board chairperson appoints volunteers for one-year terms by the end of each year (renewable up to three years total contingent on multiple factors). Your passion, expertise and experience is needed!

If you find you are interested in volunteering but can’t commit to the time required for a full committee or task force experience, IAEE sometimes has ad hoc projects that require a limited scope of time. Opportunities will be posted in The Source and other pertinent IAEE newsletters. If interested, please email Terri Phillips, CEM.
