AEMA & You
AEMA representatives volunteer valuable time to make a difference in the accessibility industry and represent its membership in a professional manner. In turn, members like you contribute to the preservation of AEMA by helping fund representative expenses such as travel costs for code & regulatory meetings and AEMA education & training presentations.
AEMA representatives meet on a regular basis throughout the year to conduct AEMA business. Periodically, Board of Director meetings and committee meetings are open to all AEMA members for attendance. Once a year, AEMA holds its Annual General Meeting to review the past year's activities and to induct its new Officers and Board of Directors into the association. We encourage associate members to run for a position on the AEMA Board of Directors. As a Board member, associate members are granted the right to vote.
We are always looking for enthusiastic and responsible individuals to represent AEMA and its membership. If you are interested in becoming a representative, please contact us. Read more about our member benefits under Membership.
