ADVOCACY
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. View the complete list of AAEI committees and contact AAEI’s Government Affairs Manager Mitchell Hart for more information.
