Do you have a story or experience related to your membership at the AAA that you wish to share? Writing and sharing a personal story can be a profound experience for the storyteller as well as for those reading. "Share Your Story" aims to have AAA members relate their personal successes, funny anecdotes, or other tales related to how the AAA has impacted their professional and personal lives. As we are readying to celebrate 100 years at the AAA, we know that there are many tales to be shared – so, please consider sharing your experiences!

Be it trying or triumphant, insightful or inspiring, we would love to read your story and consider it for publication on the AAA Centennial website. Sharing your story is as simple as submitting to aaastories@aaahq.org. Please note the following terms and specifications:

  • We reserve the right to decline to publish any story, for any reason, without notice.
