AAAP New Committee Structure
The AAAP Board of Directors proposes a new organization for all of the AAAP Committees.
The change comes from the guidance of a paid consultant during the Strategy Session at the 2023 Fall Board of Directors Meeting. The principal reasons for making these organizational changes are:
- Create major areas of focus to strengthen the partnership between committees and the Board of Directors.
- Realign all committee's goals to match AAAP's vision & mission statements.
- Increase existing member engagement within the committees.
- Encourage new member participation within the committees.
- Improve user experience when navigating to committee pages on the AAAP website.
- Reorganize the responsibilities asked of committee chairs to avoid overtaxing our volunteers
Summary of Changes
- Creation of 4 Overarching Governing Committees for AAAP Inc. The Board of Directors will appoint a chair to manage each division. Suggestions from committee chairs are welcome. The divisions are:
- Membership
- Educational Resources and Outreach
- Food Safety and Animal Welfare
- Infectious Diseases
- Renaming the Auditing Committee to the Financial Auditing Committee
- Renaming the Education Committee to Educational Resources Committee
- Moving the Small Flock Committee to the renamed Educational Resources Committee
- Creation of a Student Engagement Committee
- Moving the AAAP Mentorship, Student Chapters, and SAVMA under the new Student Engagement Committee
- Renaming Toxic, Infectious, Miscellaneous, Emerging (TIME) Committee to Emerging Diseases Committee
- Concluding the Diseases of Public Health Significance Committee due to significant overlap with other committees
