What does it cost to register as a School Member

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 even more inclusive leadership year-long ‘conversations’… from seminars to online sessions, all at no additional cost. And if that isn’t compelling enough, members receive a discounted rate for participating in the Annual AAIE Global Leadership Conversation.
