Who Can Participate?

AIAG Members:

Volunteer group meetings are open to all AIAG members. Ordinarily, any employee or contract employee of a corporate member company can attend the meeting of their choice. Participation by Associate members is limited to a single, specific individual.

Non-Members:

AIAG recognizes that from time to time it is beneficial to allow non-members access to its various member meetings and functions. These participants may be interested in joining AIAG and would like to get a taste of "AIAG life".

Non-members can participate in no more than three AIAG-sponsored meetings.

Invited non-member experts, when appropriate and requested, may attend and participate in volunteer meetings at the request of the group for a specified period of time, usually no more than six months. Written permission is obtained from the Executive Director for this participation.

How and When Can I Participate?
