Committees
Many professional and non-professional members of the AIA are involved with one or more Committees of the Institute. Committees meet throughout the year and at the Annual Meeting to discuss policies of the Institute and issues that are current in the many specialties within the field of archaeology.
The Committee oversees the Institute's Tour Program and advises on ways to enhance the value of AIA Tours as both an education outreach and a development program.
