Expressions of Interest: AVA Education Advisory Committee

13 Jul 2023

 

The AVA is looking for members interested in joining the Education Advisory Committee (EAC).

The EAC is a skills-based committee of members and staff advising the Board on the AVA’s education priorities and facilitating the implementation of the continuing education plan.

This Committee will undertake a review of all of AVA’s education offerings. This review will assist us to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our continuing education program and ensure that it remains aligned with member expectations. Already in 2023 the EAC has developed and started to implement the AVA Event Scheduling Policy and Procedure, with two further event policies in development.

Membership of the Committee
We are looking to build a diverse and experienced team. In doing so, the Board will consider the following expertise and demographic considerations:

  • Expertise in adult post-graduate education
  • Expertise in online education delivery
  • Expertise in the regulation and use of animals in teaching
  • Demographic diversity (e.g. age, gender, career stage, employment status) including:          
  • *A recent graduate or student member,
  • *Representation from across the various groups (including Branch, Division and Special Interest Groups ) in the AVA.

Expressions of Interest
The AVA is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) to fill two (2) positions on the committee for 2023/2024 and interested parties with a background in large animals is desirable.
