“I joined the AAAC for the opportunity to give back to NAIT and the alumni community. I enjoy networking with fellow alumni, informing alumni about the benefits that NAIT offers them, and developing my skills and knowledge through the volunteer work. I recommend all NAIT grads who enjoy working with others and growing a community to join the AAAC. It’s been a fun and engaging experience that helped me grow both professionally and personally.”
