AIA offers three categories of membership:

• Contributors -- individuals and entities with demonstrated technical expertise who review and provide feedback to working groups. Contributors are non-voting members.



• Supporters -- individuals and entities with demonstrated non-commercial interest and general expertise in accessibility who endorse the work of the AIA and want to have insight into its active projects. Supporters are non-voting members.
