AIRI Members-Only Quarterly Track Zooms
Hundreds of members have been participating since launched in 2022, and have become a greatly valued member benefit and resource! They are designed to be held up to an hour with an informal, open forum format, and is open to AIRI Members only. You can submit a question/topic in advance. It’s a great way to stay connected with your colleagues throughout the year and between the annual meetings.
When are the track zooms held? February, May, August, and November.
How do I access the zooms? All notifications are sent through the specific listserv. Pre-registration is not needed. However, upon arrival to the zoom, please kindly have your full name displayed along with your institute’s name in parenthesis.
Can I join a track zoom? Absolutely, as the zooms are geared for a specific track, we do ask that the zooms are based on your role(s) at your institution. Just email Morgan Denault at [email protected].
If you have any questions, email [email protected].
