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?

Any company with an interest and a stake in the initiatives that are developed at AIAG can participate.

• Current Initiatives
• Scheduled Meetings
• Contact the Chairperson of the group or the program manager of the group or other volunteers in the group to help acclimate to the group’s activities and bring you up to speed on work in progress.
