BECOME A MEMBER OF THE AAIE COMMUNITY 2021-2022
AAIE continues to live its mission in providing programming throughout the year and in serving as a beacon of trust, hope, and support for International School Heads and School leaders. When you register for membership with AAIE, you become a valued part of the only global community dedicated to supporting international educators and leaders. In these tumultous times, we have continued to believe it important to worry less about who has paid for membership and more about including everyone in our CONVERSATIONS. Now we hope you'll either renew your school membership or join us as a new member. With your membership in AAIE–we will ensure service to you, to keep valuable CONVERSATIONS going, and to ensure the AAIE community not only remains strong but also keeps getting better.
In the words of Oli Tooher-Hancock, President, AAIE Board of Trustees:
“Being a member of the AAIE community, especially in these times of fluidity and ambiguity gives international school leaders not only a sense of belonging but a true sense of camaraderie and togetherness. For me, the collective wisdom of the group means that as a leader, you are not isolated, not alone. AAIE provides a safe haven for our community to come together and share stories we can all learn from and then put into practice. In an atmosphere of trust, anything is possible.”

Voices from the AAIE Community
"I wanted to thank you all for allowing me to attend these informative weekly sessions and hear first-hand about the successes and challenges of these times so that as a business that supports international schools, we can best adapt and serve the ever-evolving landscape of our schools. What a journey this has been! Thank you very much AAIE." - Jennifer Nelson Saracevic
"These conversations kept me strong during this challenging year. Thank you for eliciting these important conversations." - Leticia Perez
"I am very grateful for the relationships and friendships we have built within this group. And thanks to our courageous leaders Mark, Sonia, Dereck and Robin." - Dave Brown
"There’s so much especially during this time that we as leaders can’t share with other people. The weekly AAIE meetings have almost been like therapy sessions where we can come together, be open, honest, and share the challenges we uniquely face and learn from the wisdom that is collectively represented within this group. I’m really grateful for everyone in these weekly sessions and for all of the wisdom that’s been shared." - Courtney Cullum Brandel
