Joining AOTI Advisory Groups is now easier than ever!

Members can now join any number of Advisory Groups through the AOTI website

The new Advisory Group Section of the website went live in February. This means that it is now much easier for members to join Advisory Groups (AGs). To apply to join an AG follow these simple steps:

1. Log into your account on the AOTI website 
2. Go to the AG section of the website here: https://www.aoti.ie/advisory-groups
3. Select the AG you would like to join
4. Fill in the 3 short questions 
5. Click the APPLY button

Some AGs charge a small admin fee to become a member. If you apply to join an AG that charges a fee, they will email you their bank account details so you can arrange payment. Where there is no fee, the AG will approve your membership and you will be added to their membership list.

The new section of the website gives each AG its own microsite where they can develop pages with information and resources exclusively for their members. In the coming months AGs will be rolling out their microsites so look out for these.

AOTI currently has 14 established AGs, one in development and a proposal for another. By the end of the year we anticipate we will have 16 operational AGs which will provide members with an ever-expanding range of peer networking and CPD opportunities.
