Along with those serving on AAI committees, members participating in numerous other volunteer service activities play a critical role in guiding AAI, contributing to the success of their colleagues, and shaping the future of AAI and the field. They lend vital support through a variety of roles including as abstract programming chairs for the Annual Meeting, career development program advisors and mentors, journal reviewers and editors, and in other service capacities. Their valuable experience, talents, ideas, and energy help to shape the field of immunology, ensure that AAI meets the needs of immunologists at all career stages, and inspire their present and future colleagues by demonstrating the value of volunteer service in sustaining the field and building its future.
- Abstract Programming Chairs (APC) review abstracts submitted for the annual meeting, selecting abstracts submitted to their Topic Category for presentation in Poster Sessions and Block Symposia.
- Immunology Explained is AAI’s public communications initiative to provide the public with clear, science-based information that connects immunology to overall health. AAI members can participate as ambassadors who translate cutting-edge science into clear, accessible content by writing blogs, creating videos, posting on social media, and more.
- This voluntary list serves as a resource when considering the selection of reviewers for manuscripts submitted to The Journal of Immunology and ImmunoHorizons. Individuals will be contacted to ensure their reviewer profile in the journals’ online submissions system is current. Individuals may also express interest in serving as an editor for the AAI journals (Associate or Section Editor).
