What to Wear

All AAI staff members must be neat and well-groomed, their clothing clean and in good condition. Please have a professional appearance.

• An AAI staff polo shirt or tee-shirt is provided.
• Pressed khakis or shorts (depending on the weather). If you don’t have khaki, then clean, well-fitting slacks are just fine.
• No denim or exercise clothing (lycra or sweat pants).
• Shoes should be in good shape and suitable for program conditions and environments.
• No open-toed shoes or sandals (except if a beach program).
• If you have a beard, mustache or facial hair, please keep neatly trimmed.
• AAI hats are acceptable and will be available for outdoor programs; your non-logoed hat is also fine.
• Sunglasses are okay for outdoor programs, but please don’t wear them when you are addressing the group.
• Please minimize jewelry, earrings and piercings.

Be Prepared

Your comfort throughout the program is important. If you’re working on an indoor program, consider that sometimes we like to get outside, just for a few minutes, so be prepared. If you’re working in a conference center, remember that they tend to keep the AC cranking in the summer, so bring layers.

For outdoor programs, check your weather forecast the morning of the program. Layers of fleece, gloves and hiking boots can make even an Extreme Snow Pursuit fun. If you have allergies, remember your medications.
