President’s Perspective
It’s fall, y’all! I don’t know about you, but I am enjoying the little bit of cooler weather and college football. Our recent virtual networking event was the perfect event to kick off the season! Not only did we have a chance to see some new faces interested in learning more about AAIV, it was also a chance to connect with other colleagues and friends.
So, what’s new at AAIV? Well, it’s September and that means we have two main focus areas for the rest of the year. First off, board elections are right around the corner. Do you have interest in serving on our board? Do you know someone who would be a good fit? Feel free to reach out to us for more information. Second, be on the lookout for the link to complete the compensation survey. Last year, we started to incorporate changes that were suggested by our platinum sponsors. Whether it’s an initial curiosity about industry itself or a potential new job role, the data gathered from this survey serves our members well.
As we look towards 2024, check out our last two webinars of the year. Finally, make sure you read the articles about our new member benefits. We are working hard for you!
Cheers to fall!
