Our Story

It is a federally recognized non-profit organization with membership just under 500. AAIV members are veterinarians working in industry.

The AAIV exists to:

- To advance the professional standards and development of veterinarians engaged in any phase of industry employment.

- To inform of the contributions that veterinarians can make to their diversified operations.

- To inform the veterinary profession of the increasing employment opportunities in industry.

- To promote free communications among the members of this organization, within the limits of individual corporate policy.
