Connection, Inclusion, and Engagement are three principles I believe are key to the work of AACRAO. The power of AACRAO is only as strong as the members they serve and is dependent on engaging its membership with current and relevant opportunities to foster professional growth and build a network of connected colleagues.
Now more than ever it is critical that we ensure the voices of our membership is represented whether that be through nominations or voting, opportunities to present at an event, or collaborating to support one of AACRAO’s key initiatives. As the pressure continues to build across the field of higher education to reassert its value, its imperative that we foster connections, and ensure membership is engaged and presented with opportunities to share their story and help shape the future of AACRAO.
