The CommitteeThe affairs of AAVDI are administered by an elected committee, with all positions filled in an honorary capacity. An Association Administrator was employed in 2001 to provide administrative assistance on a part time basis to provide managerial and book keeping assistance. The committee [see Office Bearers] is elected at the annual meeting of the association. Member benefits and ServicesThe association regularly provides workshops and continuing education meetings. We employ authorative individuals to present these programs, sourcing leading veterinarians from Australia and further afield. Internationally recognised speakers at our meetings have included Drs Victoria Johnson [UK], Christine Gibbs [England], Johann Lang [Switzerland], Kathy Spaulding [USA] and Robert Wrigley [USA]. We are fortunate that there is a great depth of talented Australasian speakers to provide the bulk of our content. Additional membership benefits include IVRA membership, access to teaching videotapes and the results of collaborative work such as standardised methods of examining dogs and cats for PCKD [see Services]. We maintain a page of electronic links to sites on the WWW that are of interest to our memberships [see Links] The website also has a good list of imaging cases which are updated regularly.
