ADVOCACY
AAEI advocates on behalf of U.S. companies on trade policy issues before Congress, as well as trade compliance practices and operations before executive agencies and multi-lateral organizations including the World Trade Organization and the World Customs Organization.

AAEI committees are on the front lines, adding to the best practices discussion and leveraging a vast network of experienced industry colleagues to make policy recommendations for AAEI to champion in Washington, DC. Engage with a community of thought leaders, policymakers, and change agents from multiple industries, and add your voice to the conversation.
AAEI’s advocacy work begins with AAEI committees. Committee members meet regularly to discuss the challenges facing the work they do—from supply chain challenges to human rights and labor issues—and to collaborate on policy recommendations.
