Hello Amazing AAII Michigan Chapter Subscribers!
The Michigan AAII Chapter Volunteer Board decided this summer to reboot and pinpoint our efforts on three vital activities:
· Attracting a younger, diverse membership
· Scheduling meetups both Online & In-Person with quality investing topics.
· Posting useful and timely content on a Michigan Chapter website
Did you know that the average age of an AAII member across the US is 72? Looking around the table at my fellow board members, I believe that! If you are younger than fifty or have university age grandchildren or children looking to learn investing or putting an AAII board position on their resume, we would welcome them and their POV on the board.
The purpose of a local chapter is to gather like-minded people to share investment ideas and best practices. I find the AAII approach to investing logical and most trustworthy. Sharing this on a personal level can make all the difference. I know it has for me.
The newly launched Michigan Chapter Website (aaiimi.org) is the single source for all our chapter activity. This will minimize the need to search through old email text or hard drive folders. We have replaced that with a central repository.
Look for more activity and events as we enter the fourth quarter of 2024. Although we have made progress, streamlined and clarified our purpose we are still in need of volunteer help. Please reach out to lorsan@peoplepc.com to see where you fit!
With Kind Regards,
