Welcome to AAIE!
What Does it Mean to be a Member?

Membership has its privileges and chief among them are the multitude of learning opportunities available to our members only. Whether it be online learning with the Leadership MasterMinds Cohorts, Summer Seminars or the Annual AAIE Leadership CONVERSATION, connectivity, learning and networking with your peers is the continuum of value adds that defines AAIE membership. From access to AAIE’s semi-annual InterEd research journal, to being a part of the community nominating your peers for recognition awards, and helping students from your school seek out AAIE scholarships, AAIE is the place to be. Like our logo, each member is representative of a piece of the puzzle that joins us together to form an interwoven international community. Be a part of something great…membership is just a click away.

"To me, being a member of AAIE means being included as an integral part of a worldwide international community - it's the networking - the opportunity to collaborate - and most importantly, knowing that I am not alone. I can't imagine doing this job without an organization like AAIE that advocates and takes a lead role in framing the future of international education. The job is lonely enough on its own and I’m thankful that I have AAIE behind me every step of the way."
-Jeff Paulson, AAIE President
Even during this time (of pandemic) when I'm being pressured heavily to reduce costs and find ways to save, I am re-registering our school for AAIE. The organisation's response to this extraordinary time has been exemplary, and I want to support the work of AAIE.
-Timothy Thomas, Head of School, Munich International School, Munich

At the core of AAIE’s mission statement is our commitment to helping international educators lead with vision, wisdom, courage and integrity. When you join or renew your membership with AAIE, you become a valued part of the only global community dedicated to supporting international educators and leaders. In the words of Jeff Paulson, President of the AAIE Board of Trustees, “To me, being a member of AAIE means being included as an integral part of a worldwide international community - it's the networking - the opportunity to collaborate - and most importantly, knowing that I am not alone. I can't imagine doing this job without an organization like AAIE that advocates and takes a lead role in framing the future of international education. The job is lonely enough on its own and I’m thankful that I have AAIE behind me every step of the way.”
The membership fee structure continues to reflect fairness to schools of differing student enrollments but also helps to innovate new leadership programming, and to offer more inclusive leadership year-long ‘conversations’… from seminars to online learning, all at no additional cost. And if that isn’t compelling enough, members receive a discounted rate for participating at the Annual AAIE Leadership Learning Conversation.
