AAAP New Committee Structure - Comment Period

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

  1. 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:
    1. Membership
    2. Educational Resources and Outreach
    3. Food Safety and Animal Welfare
    4. Infectious Diseases
  2. Renaming the Auditing Committee to the Financial Auditing Committee
  3. Renaming the Education Committee to Educational Resources Committee
  4. Moving the Small Flock Committee to the renamed Educational Resources Committee
  5. Creation of a Student Engagement Committee
  6. Moving the AAAP Mentorship, Student Chapters, and SAVMA under the new Student Engagement Committee
  7. Renaming Toxic, Infectious, Miscellaneous, Emerging (TIME) Committee to Emerging Diseases Committee
  8. Concluding the Diseases of Public Health Significance Committee due to significant overlap with other committees
