Associated Industries of Massachusetts

About

Associated Industries of Massachusetts is a Boston-based employer association that speaks for thousands of organizations on issues affecting business and the state’s economic future. Formed in 1915 by business owners who believed in collective action, it now represents employers in 150 industries with a combined workforce of more than 650,000. It follows bills on Beacon Hill, including economic development, data privacy and energy measures, and works to make sure members’ views are heard.

Members also turn to AIM for practical help. AIM HR Solutions serves as a local partner for compliance questions, HR training and on-demand expertise, and the association offers programs on topics such as gross margins and the legal side of using AI in HR. Members cite its networking opportunities, and the group shares member news, from biotech acquisitions to defense contracts and ocean research funding, with its community.
