The AIEA volunteer program provides meaningful, practical work and professional development opportunities at the AIEA annual conference. AIEA, the Association of International Education Administrators, is a professional organization that serves leaders in international education. The AIEA Annual Conference is an event that brings senior international officers from all over the world together for provocative, relevant and rewarding dialogue and networking.
AIEA is collecting information from volunteers interested in assisting in a variety of tactical and logistical tasks associated with hosting our annual conference. AIEA will need a volunteer staff of 50-60 people to work dedicated shifts of 3-4 hours over the conference days, February 18-23, 2023. This includes one day of orientation and set up as well as three days of conference programming.
Volunteers will be responsible for ensuring logistical and tactical tasks are implemented to make the attendee experience memorable and productive.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to network with senior leaders in international higher education; gain insights into trends for the future of the field; and serve an integral role in the premiere conference on the internationalization of higher education.
