As you read through the 2020 Annual Report for the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), we hope that you will feel proud of the part that you played in our 2020 accomplishments.

You are the reason that we not only survived but thrived during this difficult time.

Since the pandemic struck, several AISES members who are scientific researchers and health care professionals have been on the frontlines combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Their focus is not only in Indian Country, but for the entire world.

As colleges and universities started closing, AISES developed the Together Towards Tomorrow (T3) Fund to support students impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 420 recipients to date.

The 2020 Annual Report tells these stories and more and links you as a part of a family to our cause.

We hope you enjoy looking it over.

With much respect,

Gary Burnette
