Committees meet throughout the year to support the work of the Institute, address current issues in the field of archaeology, and provide guidance on key priorities and initiatives. Committee terms begin at the conclusion of the AIA Annual Meeting in January of the start year and conclude at the conclusion of the AIA Annual Meeting in January of the end year, unless otherwise noted.
Committee members must maintain an active AIA membership. To join the AIA as a member, click here. To renew your AIA membership, log into the AIA website and follow the instructions from the ‘My Account’ tab (selected from the top of the screen).
Interest Groups bring together AIA members who have a common interest in particular subjects, typically scholarly or regional areas of study. These organizations are more self-sufficient than AIA Committees, as they allow members to self-identify rather than being appointed by the AIA President.
Interest groups often provide a platform for members to collaborate, share resources, and engage in discussions related to their shared interests. They also offer opportunities for networking and professional development within specific areas of focus.
The AIA is North America's largest and oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to archaeology. The Institute advances awareness, education, fieldwork, preservation, publication, and research of archaeological sites and cultural heritage throughout the world. Your contribution makes a difference.
