AIREI COUNCILS

One of the most important functions of the AIREI is to create a forum to enable members to get together, exchange ideas and learn from each other in order to promote competition amongst companies which can only be of benefit to the companies themselves and the end user.

Investor members or member companies can register to attend the meetings of as many of the various councils as they wish. The board will however have the final say in which council meeting each member may attend.
The following councils have been formed to enable the members to work actively together within their specific field of expertise or to gain knowledge of areas  with which they are not yet so familiar.

Exhibition and Media Purchasing
Many AIREI members spend large proportions of their budgets on exhibition and media purchasing. This council allows the members to exhibit more often and place more advertisements within their budget by being part of the AIREI Pavilion at International shows, which by means of bulk purchasing, is able to pass on its savings to the members.
