Arizona Chapter of IAAO
ABOUT US
Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. Arizona Chapter of IAAO emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Established in 1983, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support. Contact us to learn more and get involved.
On behalf of the Executive Committee and all of our members I welcome you to our website. Your access to educational opportunities and networking is our top priority. We have utilized many tools including Facebook Live via our Facebook and a YouTube Channel to give our members access to education. We are geographically challenged and we’ve planned our events with you in mind!
The Chapter holds routine elections and offers many opportunities for executive leadership and local involvement in IAAO activities.
