Membership Development Committee
The goal of the membership development committee is to increase membership in the SEC AAAE and maintain the largest membership of all AAAE chapters. The objective of the membership committee is to inform airport executives throughout the southeast about the benefits of participating in the SEC. Those benefits include furnishing opportunities for professional growth, while supporting training and educational programs for airport practitioners in an atmosphere of integrity and camaraderie. On an annual basis the committee members determine the recruitment strategy for the year. The components of the plan are then allocated to each committee member. Calls are held periodically to update on the status and modifications are made as necessary. The current year strategy includes reaching out to all AAAE members from the southeast region that are not current SEC members and also reaching out to general aviation airports to encourage membership in the chapter. |

Southeast Chapter AAAE Young Professionals
Purpose: Our purpose is to provide support by way of mentorship, networking, and learning opportunities to those just starting out within the aviation industry. Action Plan: Marketing/Promotional Plan: We plan to initially request that the SEC sends out an email to announce the change and update the contacts for the rebranded committee. We would like to create a presence on social media by way of LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. Creating these social media outlets could help get the message out, especially coordinating with AAAE and the Young Professionals committee on the national level. We also plan to host a SEC Coffee chat to help promote the committee, talk about our goals and expectations of the committee going forward. |
