Member Testimonial!

"Last year was my first year attending the AAEE Conference. As an employer, I appreciated meeting some of the university partners I work with on a regular basis. I had the chance to put a face to the name, and also network more than I would have ever been able to do over the phone. It was an extremely valuable experience for me and my organization.”
- Maddy M. For-Profit Organization, Michigan
