AARE’s volunteer office bearers play an integral role in enabling the association to advance its mission and purpose and to meet its corporate and legal obligations.  The time, experience, and expertise invested by executive committee members is an invaluable asset for AARE and the education research community and Executive committee members derive a significant benefit from their participation through having a direct impact on causes they care deeply about and making a contribution worthy of recognition. 

We trust that serving on the Executive Committee will benefit members through:

  • having a direct impact through service to a discipline they care deeply about
  • expanding professional networks
  • developing skills in Board membership and leadership
  • providing a sense of personal satisfaction at contributing to a major professional association
