The alliance's main accomplishments are its membership meeting, appropriations advocacy day, and j-1 advocacy day. The alliance provided its membership and others with information regarding international exchange activities in congress and certain federal agencies. These reports, provided as focused news briefs, were disseminated via e-mail and posted on the alliance website where they were also available to eligible subscribers via rss feeds. These materials were provided to full members as one of the benefits of membership; other organizations, affiliated with the alliance but not full members, received access to a subset of information resources for a subscription fee.
