Committees

Serving on an AAEM Committee is an incredible opportunity to get involved in areas of EM that you are interested in, meet other members, and work collaboratively on projects that further the mission of AAEM. We have over 20 committees and subcommittees that you can choose from.

AAEM and AAEM/RSA members are invited to apply to join a committee. While committee Appointments are reviewed and approved on a quarterly basis, you can apply anytime!
