The gold membership package gives organizations an even greater level of interaction with railroad industry leaders, experts and policymakers. Gold associate members are eligible to serve on the 12-member AAB, which is comprised of representatives from associate members in each of three membership categories. The Board selects its own chair and solicits nominations from all gold associate members to serve as voting members on selected committees reporting to the Safety and Operations Management Committee.
