The first AVBA AGM
The AGM of AVBA Ltd was held in Sydney at the end of May. Members attended in person, by telephone and by proxy.
Dr Mark Ethell, in his presidential report said, "The achievements made in the first year are cause for celebration. For AVBA to have attracted over 500 members and such fantastic support from the veterinary industry in less than one year is no small achievement."
Mark thanked his fellow directors, the office team, industry partners and the membership in general for sharing AVBA's vision.
You can read more about AVBA's first AGM in the June 2009 edition of "In The Black".
