All AIS Communities (SIGs, Chapters, and Colleges) are required to submit an annual report to remain in good standing with AIS. The deadline to submit 2024 Annual Reports is March 1, 2025.

The Annual Report process also provides an opportunity to recognize AIS Communities that do an outstanding job of supporting the mission of AIS through the advancement of knowledge and the promotion of excellence in the practice and study of information systems. AIS Communities will be evaluated by an AIS committee consisting of academic members who have an interest in Chapters, Colleges, and SIGs led by the VP for SIGs and Colleges and the VP for Membership and Chapters. Outstanding Communities will be recognized each year online, through AIS electronic publications, and at AIS conferences.  

There are two parts to the Annual Report, required criteria and additional criteria. To earn Outstanding Community recognition, communities must meet all required criteria and earn 100 points from the additional criteria categories. 

Please be prepared with the following information to submit your report:

• Copy of your bylaws,
• Contact information and dates of terms for all officers (template provided)
• Conferences, workshops, and events
• Academic journal issues or special research topic issues
• Annual award and recognition programs
• Scholarships and grants awarded
• Examples of communications with your members

Chapters are also required to submit:

• Year-end financial statement
• Current roster of members

The executive board of the community should review and approve the final draft before submitting it to AIS. Reports from prior years are available on community microsites or by emailing aiscommunities@aisnet.org.
