External Committees, Councils and Coalitions

AIM’s advocacy and participation on policy issues, legislation and regulation often involve the association's staff as a member of advisory or expert panels – either by executive and legislative order, or by invitation of an agency or committee.  Additionally, AIM joins in targeted action-specific coalitions with other business organizations, chambers of commerce and employers on a statewide, regional or federal basis.  Following is a list of such relationships.
