Who Will Make History at the 50th AASV Annual Meeting?

October 31, 2018 — AASV Staff

Twenty-five years ago, at the 1994 AASP Annual Meeting, Dr Beth Lautner became the first woman - one of only two ever - to receive the prestigious Howard Dunne Memorial Award. At the same meeting, Dr Alan Davis, a practitioner from Flanagan, Illinois, was named the Swine Practitioner of the Year, and AASP charter member Dr. Wally Brandt received the Meritorious Service Award. Dr Brandt was instrumental in recording the history of the first 25 years of the association, raising the question: Who will make history at the 50th AASV Annual Meeting?
