Committees
AEP's committees are the lifeblood of the organization and the cogs that keep
our organization moving forward. Members are encouraged to join a committee to
learn more about the organization and to foster development of new ideas and
create the critical mass necessary for the organization to remain a leading edge
contributor within the community.

committee manages AEP's finance, budgeting and fundraising activities and drafts
new policies that the membership and leadership agree upon.

for managing volunteer events including the annual Big Brothers Big Sisters
Summer Event and many others.
