54. For a good example of how AAIM ropes you in, look at me, for instance. I have been a member since 1988 and since then I have served as Membership Chair (for 10 years), Media Festival Chair twice, President once in ’95-’96 and next year again---and Board Member several times. I have written articles for almost all AAIM journals since 1989 and presented at all conferences since I joined. I even had time to scan the old archive photos and author this slide show. So I know---when you get involved in AAIM— YOU GET INVOLVED!
