The Mission of the Membership Committee is to build, support, and maintain AIPLA membership.

The Membership Committee's goals include:

• Building a high retention rate by engaging current members to understand the drivers of member “stickiness” and attrition.
• Creating and supporting programs and activities for attracting new members to AIPLA.  

Activities of the Membership Committee include:

• Reviewing membership statistics and trends in membership.
• Identifying, recommending, establishing and supporting new services, communications and outreach programs to facilitate membership retention.
• Providing resources to current members and committees for attracting and retaining members.
• Identifying sources for new members, and recommending and establishing outreach programs for attracting new members.  

Membership Committee activities are implemented by the following subcommittees:
