AIS Honors Outstanding Communities

AIS is proud to recognize the Communities that have received the Outstanding SIG, Outstanding College, or Outstanding Chapter designation for the 2025 reporting year. These Communities continue to show strong performance in supporting their members and advancing the AIS mission through programs, scholarly output, leadership development, and active engagement.

“Members of AIS Communities value the sense of belonging and the opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and collaborate that each community provides,” said Julia Kotlarsky, AIS Vice President of SIGs and Colleges. “We are delighted to recognize these outstanding communities and their contributions to the field.”

Jens Dibbern, AIS Vice President of Member Services and Chapters, added, “Chapters that host their own events, publish journals and articles, and offer mentorship play a vital role in AIS. We are grateful for the meaningful service these communities provide to our local members.”
