Dear AINA Members,

A central goal of the Executive Board has been to provide value to AINA membership by engaging the members within this organization. Given this goal, the Executive Board has developed several committees tasked with the development of “New Initiatives” for the organization that we hope will promote the goals of AINA both nationally and internationally. We are excited to share these “New Initiatives” with AINA and want to recruit motivated members to join these committees (5 members per committee). The committees and their brief descriptions are listed below:
