Several years ago, when membership numbers were declining in two veterinary associations,
they made the bold decision
to combine into one organization, yet made certain they would
retain both AVMA Delegates.
This kind of innovative thinking is
also needed in current times,
when we again are experiencing fluctuations in our membership numbers. Most assuredly,
this out-of-the-box-thinking
is what will keep us relevant and sustainable as an organization.
Take a look now, and read about this event in detail, and remember it
has set a precedent of how
we can evolve and grow stronger:
"The American Association of Food Safety and Public Health Veterinarians was formed in 2016 following the merger of our two parent organizations, The American Association of Food Safety Veterinarians (AAFSV) and the American Association of Public Health Veterinarians (AAPHV).
The leadership of the two organizations decided that the efficiencies and synergies of a combined organization would serve the full spectrum of operations of all public health veterinarians."
