The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) is a not-for-profit, 510(c)(3) association whose membership is comprised of 57 veterinary licensing boards including the United States, 4 Canadian provinces, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. AAVSB is committed to serving the veterinary regulatory agencies, our Member Boards, by providing quality, relevant programs and services that these Boards can rely on to carry out their statutory responsibilities in the interest of public protection.

The Member Boards appoint voting Delegates who elect the members of the AAVSB Board of Directors and vote on other pertinent association issues at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors is responsible for governing the organization.
