Mission: Our mission is to use our extensive leadership experience and wisdom in AAFP and organized veterinary medicine to identify future AAFP leaders, seek board nominees, develop leadership skills of current and future leaders and serve an advisory/historian role to the board.

Are you curious about how to improve your personal and professional relationships and make your work environment more enjoyable? Resources are available through AAFP. The Leadership Development Committee recommends the following books and websites. click here . . .

In 2001, the Leadership Committee was formed to mentor leaders of the AAFP through leadership training and to solicit more volunteer leaders from the AAFP membership. In early 2005, the Executive Board combined the Leadership Committee with the Nominations Committee to form the Leadership Development Committee with the charge of:

1. identifying leaders
2. recruiting leaders
3. developing/training leaders

In 2003, the Bylaws and nominations procedures were updated to offer more democratic procedures to elect Officers and Board Directors.
In 2006, the nominations procedures were refined to screen qualifications of nominees so that a slate of qualified, responsive candidates could be presented.
