AAIE Affiliate Membership Benefits 2017-18

Dear AAIE Affiliate Leader,

Thank you for an outstanding 2016-17 year and a wonderful 51st Conference in San Francisco! We look forward to building on this year's momentum as we head into the 2017-18 year with you and other valued members and service providers from around the world. For over 50 years, affiliate members and resource providers have been an important and integral part of our international education community...your role is critical as your services directly support our school leaders in providing the very best educational experience for their students and communities. Thank you for being a valued member of this global family!

The 2017-18 AAIE Membership is now available. You are invited to renew your membership now or in July when the regular renewal period begins.

The international school landscape continues to change. Members have spoken and we have listened. AAIE continues to implement strategic changes to increase the awareness of our valued affiliate members and the resources and expertise you offer member schools and communities. Some recent changes are:

Affiliate Member Highlight - Each month we highlight AAIE Affiliate Members on our homepage and again in our bi-monthly newsletter, The International CONNECTOR. This perk is available to all affiliate members, whether you are a company or individual consultant.

International Resource Directory (IRD)- Published 3 times a year, the Resource Directory is sent directly to member school leadership teams & business managers, published on the AAIE website and forwarded to our extended database of international organizations and schools. Special Pre and Post - Conference IRD's highlight those who are attending and exhibiting at the conference. This allows attendees and exhibitors to make plans to connect regarding resources important to their school's needs, and helps schools connect with you when they need specific resources or services throughout the year.

Discounts on Advertising - AAIE Members continue to enjoy significant discounts on all advertising options via publications, our website, event promotions at conferences and institutes, and more. AAIE offers advertising packages that offer optimal visibility in our our highest opened emails and most visited webpages.

Exclusive Conference Exhibiting Opportunities - Only AAIE Affiliate Members are invited to attend and exhibit at our large annual leadership conference. We will be in New York City for the 52nd AAIE Conference, with a new and dynamic exhibition space and opportunities to connect with other members in 2018!

Directory in Conference App - Introduced at the 51st conference, The AAIE Conference App provides a one-stop-shop for all information on the conference, including contact information for all attendees, a separate address book of exhibitors and sponsors and easy ways to make connections, meeting appointments and initiate and follow up on leads after the event.

Website Badges - A special badge for affiliate members to indicate your connection and endorsement from AAIE as a trusted, high quality international school resource provider/ consultant.

NEW! Extended User Benefits - as an affiliate member, your entire team is a member. Starting in 2017, we will include all team members in special interest groups of AAIE.

As you renew your membership, please have your logo and URL (web address) handy to include.
