AIS is excited to launch a new Member Spotlight program. The program is a way to recognize and celebrate the incredible contributions of our members, share their stories, and help us all get to know each other a little better.
Each spotlight will feature highlights from a member’s professional journey, personal insights, and even a fun fact or two. By showcasing a wide range of members, from academics to doctoral students to professionals, we aim to highlight the diversity
and strength of our global community.
Meet Our First Spotlights
Academic Spotlight
Shamel Addas, Queen's University

You’ll see their stories on our Member Spotlight page and across our social media channels.
How It Works
Spotlights are published in the order they’re received, with attention to rotating across regions. There’s no competition or selection process since everyone has a story worth sharing. Members will answer a few short questions, such as:
Why did you join AIS, and what’s kept you involved?
What’s a recent professional accomplishment you’re proud of?
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
What’s a hidden talent, interesting hobby, or fun fact about you?
Along with their answers, members are invited to share a headshot and personal photos to bring their story to life. Going forward, we expect to publish a new spotlight in each member category with each InSider edition.
Be Featured Next!
We want to hear from you. You can nominate yourself or a peer, and it only takes a few minutes to get started.
This is your chance to celebrate the people who make the AIS community strong.
