AER Resolutions

Resolutions help AER members bring important issues, challenges, and opportunities forward, create a shared voice across diverse professions and perspectives, and help guide advocacy, organizational priorities, and professional initiatives. They also provide a way to support the advancement of the professions by addressing issues related to practice, standards, services, and education, while giving every member a meaningful opportunity to contribute by submitting ideas, reviewing proposals, participating in discussion, and voting. AER’s strength comes from the knowledge, experience, and perspectives of its members. Resolutions create a pathway for that expertise to become part of the Association’s collective voice.
