The AAV Membership Committee strives to promote benefits of AAV membership, growth of AAV membership numbers, as well as any activities that support a sense of community among AAV members.

The Committee is involved in a diverse variety of topics and activities from promotion of the AAV Member Spotlight and selection of the Donald W. Zantop Emerging Leader Award to member benefit projects and renewal/membership drives. The Committee also has liaisons on other AAV Committees including the International Committee (Langlois) and Social Media Committee (Hawley). Are you a member of another AAV Committee? We would love your help in keeping up with other AAV activities.
