Announcing 2012-2013 AER-Lift Online AER-Lift is an acronym for "AER Leadership Initiatives Facilitate Teamwork" which was established as a three day chapter and division leadership training program for AER elected officers to strengthen the association. The training program was designed to stimulate and encourage more involvement of grass roots members thereby assisting the association in fulfilling its mission of providing support to AER members at the chapter and division levels. AER-Lift On-line has been initiated to offer the critically needed leadership training for chapter and division leaders. AER-LIFT On-line is not intended to replace the three day face-to-face training opportunities, but rather to supplement it. Below you will find the list of presentations intending to assist chapter and division leaders, AER committee members, and members who are interested in future work in a leadership position. Below are the online webinars currently scheduled.
