AAII Eastern Michigan Chapter

How often and where are Chapter meetings/presentations held?

Meetings are held four times per year.  The Troy Community Center and the Livonia Civic Center Library are the normal meeting places, although meetings have gone virtual due to Covid 19. It is hoped to return to in person meetings in 2022.
Venues are selected depending on cost, the need for space and the popularity of the speaker.

In addition to chapter meetings, there is a chapter subgroup which has regular meetings for members. This Special Interest Group (SIG) has its own page on this website.

Check it out by clicking the SIG button on the sidebar.

Unlike some organizations, AAII does not automatically put you into a local chapter. You must personally
request mailings or email notification concerning the chapter(s) of your choice. Be sure to fill out the request form in the AAII Journal when you join and annually renew your membership.

Once you become a member, you can receive local chapter news and up-to-the-minute meeting information.
Just visit www.aaii.com/ChapterEmail and enroll in the local chapter E-mail update program.


Do I have to pay to attend a meeting or presentation?

$10.00 for members and non members / $15.00 for anyone who does not pre-register.

Since this is a non-profit organization, why charge a fee?

Costs associated with meetings include speaker's travel expenses, refreshments and meeting room rental.

Are local board members paid for their services?

No, board members are unpaid volunteers. They are compensated for expenses; two annual meals for board members are also included.

How do you select your programs and speakers?

Program selection is made solely on the basis of educational benefit to our members. We want to maintain the trust of our members and our reputation for providing unbiased investment information. We try to avoid the potential abuse of those whose primary interest may center around selling investment products or services rather than providing a learning experience.

How much does it cost to join and are there any requirements?

Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in the financial marketplace.

Current annual membership fee is $29.00, which includes a subscription to the AAII Journal, mailed 10 times a year; The Individual Investor's Guide to Low-Load Mutual Funds, published annually in March; and the Personal Tax and Financial Planning Guide, distributed to members in December.

Lifetime memberships are also available.
