 Welcome to the American Association of Avian Pathologists!

Greetings to all of you! As your new president I am excited for this coming year. Even though we are encompassed by a unique set of unsettling circumstances, we as a professional organization continue to set forth a clear objective: to advance and facilitate science-based knowledge, expertise, and education in poultry health, welfare, and food safety.

The often unsung but vitally important advancements toward this objective take place within the committees. I applaud those endeavors and wish to recognize all AAAP members who serve within their ranks. Additionally, I urge all those who have a desire to join in these efforts to consider serving in a committee in which you can contribute in meaningful ways.

The AAAP offers many educational tools that are of great benefit, such as the publication of our professional journal, Avian Diseases, over 30 slide study sets, and a bevy of specialty publications written to serve as references for laboratories and veterinarians working in the poultry field. We also hold an annual meeting that is unmatched for great information. We broke new ground for the 2020 meeting as we navigated through the COVID-19 challenge by providing an excellent on-line venue for the presentations. Regardless of present and future challenges, the AAAP is dedicated to providing the best experience possible for collaboration and continuing education.

The AAAP is over 900 members strong. It will remain strong as we work together, collaborate, and continue to maintain our elite status within the veterinary profession as the “go-to” organization for obtaining relevant and up-to-date scientific knowledge in poultry health, welfare, and food safety. If you haven’t taken a serious look at how the AAAP can be a significant benefit to you, please take the time to do so. I’m certain you’ll like what you see.

Sincerely,

David D. Frame, DVM, DACPV
