AAAE Leadership Volunteer Opportunities That Shape the Aviation Industry

As a member of AAAE, you have the opportunity to contribute your expertise through meaningful volunteer leadership—whether by serving on the Board of Directors, the Policy Review Council, or within your regional chapter. Many members also engage through AAAE’s diverse committees, collaborating on important topics like environmental concerns, finance, and leadership development. These roles not only shape industry policy and member initiatives but also connect directly to the association’s governance, where members can participate in elections and help guide the organization’s future direction.
