Benefits of an Online Community

Online communities are great supplements to in-person communities. You can use the AACRAO Exchange to take advantage of your AACRAO member benefits, participate in important conversations about new developments in the field, and create connections with colleagues from around the world.

All AACRAO members are encouraged to join the AACRAO Exchange today.

Inside the AACRAO Exchange, you’ll be able to:

Participate in AACRAO Caucuses, PACs, and other special interest groups

Create new connections and connect with colleagues you’ve met at previous conferences and events.

Ask questions of the experts

Brainstorm with peers

And much more…

The AACRAO Exchange is one of your member benefits and a space we created in response to ongoing member requests for access to other members outside of the AACRAO Annual Meeting and the Strategic Enrollment Management Conference. We hope you’ll log in, explore the space, ask questions, interact with colleagues, and drop us a message telling us what you like and what would make the community even better for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are best practices for posting in the Exchange?

    To support productive, professional discussion:

    • Provide context (institution type, relevant policy constraints, audience).
    • Ask clear questions and note what you have already tried.
    • Share resources responsibly and avoid posting sensitive or personally identifiable information.
    • When referencing institutional policy or regulation, cite sources when possible.

  • How do I choose which communities to join?

    Start with communities aligned to your primary responsibilities, then add secondary areas where you want to build expertise. You can see a full list of communities on the All Communities page. You can update your community selections and communication preferences over time as your role evolves.

  • I am a member, but I cannot access the Exchange. What should I do?

    First, confirm that you are signed in with the correct email address and that your membership is active. If access issues persist, the most common causes are an outdated account email, multiple accounts, or an inactive membership record. Contact AACRAO for assistance with account or access troubleshooting.
