Meet Your Student/Postdoc Board Representatives!

AAA is the first FASEB society to give students and postdocs a voice on their Board of Directors. AAA has taken a pioneering role in not just allowing but mandating student involvement at the Board level.

Very few associations permit students to serve on the Board in a voting capacity. In fact most of the FASEB societies - students are not even eligble to vote in general elections.
