What Happens Next?

Future

AIR has now grown larger than anyone could have ever expected, but they're only just getting started. AIR has ambitious goals to add more chapters and create governmental level impact. Although AIR has never applied for 501(c)(3) because the organization doesn't handle money, one day AIR plans to be a globally renowned non-profit organization.
