1.  Use of the AAIEP logo will be limited to AAIEP member programs in good standing.  AAIEP membership may not be represented as “accreditation” in member program literature or on member program websites.

2.  Use of the AAIEP logo with a subscript, "Institutional Associate Member", will be limited to institutional associate members in good standing, who ascribe to the AAIEP standards.  Institutional membership in AAIEP does not equate to AAIEP endorsement of that member’s products or services, and may not be represented as such in promotional literature.

3.  AAIEP will not endorse specific activities or organizations, with the exception of activities sponsored or co-sponsored by AAIEP.

4.  Links to the AAIEP web site (other than those of members and associate members) will be considered on a case-by-case basis relative to AAIEP’s institutional mission.  Final approval rests with the President.  Reciprocity will be expected in most cases.

5.  AAIEP will provide information to the membership from time to time about activities and services that the Association believes provide benefit to the membership.  This information is provided as a service and without endorsement.

Complaints and Violations
Members who feel that another member program or associate may have violated provisions of this policy regarding representation of the AAIEP logo or name should file a complaint with the Vice President of Standards (standards@aaiep.org) for further investigation and follow-up.  Pursuant to the Article V, Section 1 of the AAIEP Bylaws, failure to correct violations in a timely manner may lead to termination of membership for affected programs or associates, and a bar on subsequent membership, at the discretion of the AAIEP Executive Board.  The Board reserves the right to take legal action in cases where it feels an organization has willfully misrepresented AAIEP membership.
