Interested in Joining a Committee?

View our opportunities below and contact Charran James, AUID President with specific questions, or the board member listed below each committee to get started.

WHY SERVE?
Joining a committee is an easy way to give back, influence the future of this
association and gain strong connections with other members.

WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS
While AUID has a management partner for necessary day-to-day
association support, this community relies on member involvement to
advance goals and support initiatives. Please consider joining one or several
of these committees.

COMMITMENT
The time commitment of each committee varies throughout the year but
typically meet once or twice a month depending on certain initiatives or
operational deadlines. As volunteer positions, we understand that work is
priority and commitment levels change over time.
