The AAV Education Committee has a lot of exciting things going on right now! Our committee chairs sit on the Conference Committee and help plan the annual conference. Our members are also responsible for the educational content on the AAV website and education portal. We are working on producing more “How to” videos for our portal, developing a new “Golden Egg” focusing on backyard poultry, adding more lectures to the education portal, and putting up more client education handouts for our members to use in their practices.

Our committee currently consists of our 2 chairs and 4 active Education Committee members but we would love to get more of our AAV members involved. This is a great opportunity for you to contribute to your community—and it does not have to be a big time commitment. If you have an amazing client education handout you’d like to share or want to make a video (a smart phone works great!) on how to do a wing trim (or any other topic) then let us know! And if you haven't checked out all the cool materials available to you on the education portal and the AAV website, we encourage you to take a look today!

If you are interested in participating on this committee, please contact us at education@aav.org. We would love to hear from you!
