AEL’s Professional Partners are non-educational businesses, associations and organizations offering special, often customized and exclusive, services and opportunities to AEL members. At their very core these services and benefits are exclusive because eligible but non-AEL affiliated school personnel either cannot access them or cannot access them at AEL member-only rates or fees.

Professional Affiliates are businesses and organizations providing products and services to AEL members in one or a combination of three ways:

• Exclusive AEL member access to products and services
  
• Products at discounted prices
• Services at/or below conventional market rates
• Services of special value or interest

In some instances products and services are available only to AEL members. In others, the products or services are available to other markets. In either instance, AEL members have products or services available at reduced costs or rates. Expanding this segment of benefits for AEL members is a key goal for the Association.
