About Us
The mission of the AIAAA is to develop, enhance and preserve the educational values of interscholastic athletics.
The AIAAA was developed by the Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association (ASAA) in 2008 after many years of discussion about assisting athletic directors in Alberta schools. The AIAAA is now a stand-alone organization, which enjoys close ties with, and financial support from, the ASAA and its 360 member schools.
The AIAAA serves its members by providing resources to develop and enhance leadership skills and to offer opportunities for professional growth. The AIAAA delivered its first set of Leadership Training Program courses in April 2009 at an Athletic Director forum in Banff, AB, where attendance surpassed expectations and positive feedback was overwhelming. The initiative is the first of its kind in Canada with a future goal of becoming a national organization.
