The AASV’s issue-based committees will meet on Saturday, March 7 during AASV’s 51st Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA. The meeting times, room assignments, and agendas have been posted on the annual meeting website. Browse the agendas and consider joining if you have expertise, experience, or an interest in any of the topics. Almost all committees can use members who are actively in practice.

The AASV Board of Directors recognizes that the committees form the backbone of our organization. The Board relies on the committees as "issue experts" and seeks their input regarding issues of importance to swine veterinarians. Committees are called upon to examine an issue and advise the Board on official positions the association should take or to develop additional resources to educate our membership.
