Student Local Sections
Participate in an AIHA Student Local Section
As a member of a Student Local Section, you have the opportunity to network with other IH students, explore new ideas, and gain valuable insights.
Leadership opportunities are also available. As a President-Elect of a Student Local Section, you will be invited to attend the annual Leadership Workshop. AIHA currently has over 30 Student Local Sections.
No student local section at your school? Don’t miss out on the benefits. Lead the way for a new IH community by accessing the Student Local Section Implementation Kit 
or contacting local sections relations at (703) 849-8888. It’s never too early to get involved in AIHA by starting a student local section.

- Meet other IH students;
- Stay on top of the latest IH trends with a variety of workshops and speakers;
- Work jointly with your sponsoring AIHA Local Section on events;
- Sharpen your skills with development opportunities;
- Enhance your leadership abilities by volunteering for an officer role;

- Achieve recognition through an array of awards.
Be a Catalyst for the Future
