Volunteer Leadership

Get Involved! — Volunteers are the lifeblood of the AMI

One of the best ways for members to network and grow professionally is to serve on a committee. Each of us can make a difference, and working together we ensure that our profession is strong, relevant, and full of opportunities. AMI is a volunteer-driven association. Your service helps shape and implement our strategic plan.

AMI welcomes you to volunteer with us. The AMI’s volunteer leadership opportunities are listed below. Applications are generally accepted every spring and fall. Once you select an opportunity and submit your interest form, it will be reviewed by volunteer leadership and you will be notified of the outcome within a few weeks.

Volunteering with AMI provides many benefits, including:

Meeting and engaging with other professionals within the field
Gaining valuable experience to help advance your career
Preparing yourself for potential board service through committee leadership
