Membership

2007 is an exciting year to be a member of the Adoption Exchange Association. The AEA Board of Directors and the committees have taken on many exciting new challenges—everything from improving the website to rewriting the Adoption Exchange Standards. In March Rachel Pratt joined the organization as its first Chief Executive Officer, and she is thrilled to have this opportunity to serve all of you in your work for children and families.

Membership rates have increased in 2007—and so have the benefits to you and your organization. You can join as a regular member or choose the new Premier Membership. For the first time AEA will also make available multiple memberships for organizations that wish to involve more than one professional in all that AEA has to offer. All membership levels include features and assistance to help you run your organizations and get more children adopted.
