What are Subgroups?

AAII Subgroups are small gatherings sponsored by local chapters where members meet for general discussion or to explore a specific investment topic of interest to the group. The group leader along with the subgroup members will work together to decide on the type of meetings the group will hold along with the topic the group will study. Subgroup meeting details are included on the sponsoring chapter's meeting announcement.
