Powering Performance

AIAG’s Corporate Responsibility team says “thank you” to all of our volunteers for another fruitful year. We offer a special thank-you to those who gave so freely of their energy, resources, experience, and expertise in 2022.

As a member, you have much to contribute, and volunteering on an AIAG committee or work group gives your company a seat at the table and an influential voice in the discussion. The support of thousands of members and industry volunteers working together in a cooperative environment makes it possible for AIAG to create the guidelines and tools that result in streamlined processes and solutions to our industry’s pain points and challenges.

Bridget Grewal is packaging continuous improvement director for Magna and a long-time AIAG leader and volunteer. Her most recent work includes helping AIAG complete the newer RC-18 publication and now orchestrating a version 2 of that same document. In this interview, Grewal talks about the work she’s found most rewarding and gives advice on how to get more from your AIAG membership.

AIAG was founded nearly 40 years ago by Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors – joined shortly after by Honda, Nissan, and Toyota – as a place where industry could come together in a neutral, collaborative, and legal environment to solve issues common to the automotive supply chain.

If you attended a recent AIAG event, you may have seen a short video about an organization called Camp Quality. You may also have wondered why we were sharing information about a camp for kids – especially since it has virtually nothing to do with the automotive industry!

AIAG is celebrating its 36^th anniversary, and to thank our members for their partnership and participation, we’re throwing a party!

Did you know that AIAG offers free sponsored memberships to qualifying automotive and diversity suppliers that fall under $20 million in total annual sales?

At AIAG, we believe in the value of shared knowledge and resources, because we know from experience that we go farther together. In this spirit, one question we consistently ask is how we can better support the entire supply chain, including your organization and suppliers. The answer, in part, is by attending events like Supplier Days where we can help spread the word about AIAG to your supply base.

Last August, the Automotive Industry Action Group hit a milestone in membership, welcoming its 1,500^th new member into the AIAG community. Today, just seven months later, the association celebrates another accomplishment: surpassing the 2,000 member mark.
