AAIM MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
JOINING FORCES TO SERVE YOU BETTER
Get ready for an even broader portfolio of consulting, training and membership services designed to meet your individual organization’s needs. AAIM, the employers’ association in St. Louis with 1000 member organizations has signed a statement of intent to merge with the Employers’ Association (EA), the premier source for talent development in Illinois, serving nearly 600 member organizations in more than 60 counties throughout central and southern Illinois. When the merger is complete, the new organization—AAIMEA (pronounced “aim EA”)—headquartered in St. Louis will be one of the largest employers’ associations in the United States, bringing nearly 200 years of combined experience to more than 1,600 members in two states. That means more services, more expertise and more flexible solutions for you, including:
• A comprehensive member Resource Center that answers your questions quickly, accurately and on your schedule
• A broad range of Seminars & Events where you can listen to, learn from and interact with your peers and known HR experts
• Innovative in-person and electronic Workplace Learning offerings that improve employee productivity, performance and engagement
• Expanded Cultural & Operational Excellence programs covering strategic planning, succession planning, talent management, total rewards, coaching, team building and more
• Additional HR Solutions and consulting services that provide the expertise and support you need when you need it
• Local, regional, national and customized Organizational Surveys to help you gauge, then improve, your position in the marketplace
• New Supplier Partnerships in the areas of health insurance and management, workers’ compensation, outplacement, payroll, unemployment consulting and more
What’s not changing? The quality service you’ve come to expect, the responsive staff you know and trust, and our commitment to delivering a return on people that far exceeds your annual membership fee. We appreciate your loyalty to AAIM and we look forward to serving you even better as AAIMEA. We’ll be in touch with more details in the coming weeks as the merger discussions progress. If you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me or your account executive.
Sincerely,

Ray Edwards
