I value my membership with AAEI, as it connects me with a community that truly understands the complexities of my role and the challenges faced by trade professionals.  In today’s evolving global landscape, concerns around geopolitical dynamics, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory compliance are top of mind. AAEI provides a trusted platform to learn, engage in thoughtful discussions, and participate in panels, webinars, and conferences that address critical issues impacting the international trade community. For many members, particularly those who are the sole trade professional at their organization, AAEI offers not just resources, but a voice that ensures you are not navigating these challenges alone.

AAEI has a long history of advocacy for its members and maintains the respect of many on Capitol Hill.   AAEI also covers a large membership across many industries so while our concerns are important to us we get exposure to a number of different opinions and views on topics through the working groups and committees with AAEI.   AAEI also puts on high quality webinars and events to keep members informed and up to date on important issues.    As an Individual they have offered me the opportunity to participate in conference panels and as a speaker on webinars which gives myself and IKEA positive exposure across the industry.
