Committee Members and Liaison

The Education Committee strives to enhance the business potential and competitive advantage of AAIA members through its support of aftermarket education events and programs. It also oversees the growth and administration of scholarship funds that benefit students preparing for aftermarket careers. In this way, the committee helps to ensure a qualified future labor pool and promote business excellence in the automotive aftermarket.

Standing committees primarily meet two times a year in conjunction with AAIA Leadership Days in the spring and fall, throughout the U.S., to provide direction and develop plans for the association. Some committees may meet an additional time and/or schedule various conference calls/Webinars. If your job responsibility coincides with any of the standing committees and you are interested in becoming more involved in AAIA, please complete a nomination form and include your relevant experience and qualifications. E-mail the form, along with an updated bio, to aaiacommittees@aftermarket.org.
