AIM represents state, territorial and local immunization programs that receive
direct federal grants from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s
National Immunization Program. These grantees, or Project Areas, include the
50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Republic of
Marshall Islands, Micronesia, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico,
the Virgin Islands, Chicago, New York City, Houston, San Antonio and Philadelphia.
Active AIM membership is limited to the program manager of each of these 64
federal grantees. AIM also two other classes of membership: associate, for
immunization program staff; and honorary, for AIM alumni.
Active Membership
Active membership is limited to the public employee or official designated
by any state, territorial or municipal government as the person primarily responsible
for actively directing the immunization effort for that area. Each Project
Area is entitled to one vote in official decisions or business of the Association.
Associate Membership
Associate membership is open to any employee from any governmental immunization
program within an active member’s Project Area, or from any immunization-related
organization in the Project Area. This member can attend all open meetings
and can participate on committees of the Association, but does not have voting
privileges.
Honorary Membership
Honorary Membership is open to any former active or associate member whose
status has changed, rendering him or her ineligible to continue as an active
or associate member, and to any person involved in immunization support activities
who may be appointed as a national partner by vote of the Executive Committee.
Honorary Members can serve as advisors and consultants to the Association,
and can attend all open meetings and participate on committees but without
voting privileges.
