We are standing in the middle of 60 years of AIJA history created and 60 years of opportunity. Join us to look back and celebrate what has been achieved and look forward to explore how to shape AIJA's success for the future. Be in inspired and hear from past and current members as to how AIJA has had an impact on them, their firm and the global community. We will demonstrate why AIJA should embrace activities that will create a legacy for not only AIJA but will benefit you and play a role towards societal transformation. In groups you will share stories about AIJA's values and initiatives and will explore strategies on how you want AIJA and yourself to create an impact in the places where we gather with our events. The ‘place’ matters.  Why is this the right environment for our meeting?  How can this community support our mission and vision? What are the gaps / challenges in the local society?  How can we have a positive contribution? Through intentional legacy actions, thanks to our global outreach we can together create a ripple effect that will have a lasting impact long after our conferences have ended.
