The following committees were created for our members to get more involved with the IAA. Also, as
a member, it gives you the opportunity to establish closer relationships with potential clients and colleagues.
Committee Chair Responsibility: The role of the Chair or Co-Chairs on all committees is to recruit committee members to collaborate and obtain assistance on sponsorships, promotional tie-ins, theme, decor, venue, etc. The final recommendations are made by the Committee Chair(s) and presented to the Executive Director. Final decision on all aspects of the event and signing of all vendor contracts are made by the Executive Director. If there are any discrepancies, the Committee Chair(s) may address them with the Chapter President and Treasurer. They will have veto power over the Executive Director. Committee Chair(s) are responsible for scheduling their own committee meetings and should share with their committee upon recruitment how many meetings they should expect to attend. IAA Committees
