Why Join Memberfuse?

If you haven’t done so already, please log into your account on MemberFuse, AIC’s online member community. You will receive emails with the header “AICHAW Notifications” toyour primary email address; the first time you visit Memberfuse, a pop-up will ask how often you’d like to receive messages. These messages are summaries of what other members are doing on the networking site.

Using Memberfuse, you can network with colleagues, learn what specialty and discussion groups are up to, peruse business meeting minutes, and use the online calendar.

BPG Vote

The vote to accept the 2017 BPG Business Meeting Minutes was open until August 18. Results should be available in September.

BPG and FAIC

As always, please considering donating to the FAIC; any amount ($5 or even $1!) helps increase the percentage of AIC members who donate. It’s the percentage (not the dollar amount) that incentivizes large philanthropic foundations to give even more to support our programs – programs that support you, your professional development, your research, and that of your colleagues. When you contribute you can designate how your money will be used, such as for FAIC, NHR (formerly AIC-CERT), Angels Projects, CoOL, Christa Gaehde, Carolyn Horton, Professional Development, George Stout, or Take a Chance funds. Thanks to the 10% of members who already donate each year.
