Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead

Committee involvement is the best way to get the most of your AiP membership. You will meet other members, build relationships, showcase your talents, and learn new skills. And more importantly you will be working to help AiP achieve its mission:

• To inspire and educate advisors, helping them make philanthropic planning with their clients an integral part of their practice
• To create a unique network of support through collegial relationships among an intentionally diverse spectrum of professionals attracted to membership in our organization
• To promote the highest ethical standards in philanthropic planning
