Lauren will address the following questions:
· How might the branches and national AALAS benefit from a closer, more solidified relationship?
· What could the branches do to further support national AALAS?
· What can national AALAS do to provide services to the branches in order to foster a grassroots initiative in support of our mission to advance responsible laboratory animal care and use to benefit people and animals?
