Having alternate contacts (billing, operations, and security) on your member accounts in AWS Organizations is important for your AWS operations. These contacts ensure that critical information reaches the right people within your organization, improving communication and response times for various account-related matters.

This script will help you automate the process of updating alternate contacts across your AWS Organization's member accounts, ensuring that your contact information remains current and comprehensive.
