Committee Portfolios

The AAIR Executive Committee has developed a suite of portfolios. Portfolios are allocated to Executive Committee members on an annual basis based on interest and expertise.

The management of portfolios is reviewed at each subsequent Executive Committee meeting that coincides with the Annual Forum in any given year.

The AAIR Executive Officer completes most day-to-day activities outlined in the portfolios, and each portfolio leader liaises with the AAIR Executive Officer.

Brief portfolio reports are provided to the AAIR Secretary at least one week prior to each Executive Committee Teleconference as per the reporting schedule.

All portfolio leaders liaise with the AAIR Executive Officer in regard to their specific portfolios; however, the AAIR President will have overarching responsibility for overseeing the AAIR Executive Officer.

Portfolios include:

  1. Publications, Communications and Social Media
  2. Professional Development
  3. Special Interest Groups
  4. Sales, Marketing and Promotional Materials
  5. Relationship Management and Development
  6. Membership and Mailing Lists
  7. Strategic Planning
