Current Council Members

AACII is composed of fifteen-sixteen members and three ex-officio members; roughly 2/3 are Director, Administration and Finance Officers from departments, laboratories and centers and 1/3 are Administrators from administrative areas. The ex-officio members consist of representatives from the Executive Vice President and Treasurer and Provost offices and the previous AACII Chair. The committee reports to the Executive Vice President and Treasurer and Provost.

While you may contact any individual AACII member with your ideas, concerns, or questions, each AACII member has a defined constituent group.
