Who We Are: The Alliance is a component organization of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology whose members are spouses of College members. We foster friendships, support College awards and grants and assist in the success of the annual meeting. We are composed of men and women dedicated to bringing its members into a more active affiliation with the educational and cultural mission of the College by establishing scholarships and travel grants for young ACAAI investigators, providing a program of educational and social activities in the convention city and cultivating and strengthening a family atmosphere among its members.
What We Do: Since its inception in 1954, the Alliance has supported and augmented the activities of the College and its mission of education by encouraging the growth of the specialty of allergy and clinical immunology. Through its dues, the Alliance provides three Clemens von Pirquet Awards and travel grants to fellows-in-training for their outstanding abstracts in the field of allergy, asthma and immunology. For the youth, the Alliance offers “ACAAI KIDS” programs with adult accompaniment. We offer social and educational programs during the annual meeting for members and guests.
