AAEP: The Second 25 Years 1980-2004

“Past Is Prologue…” The history of the AAEP over the past 25 years is understood only in its relationship to the foundation of the first 25 years; its leaders, and their commitment to the growth and vision of this remarkable veterinary organization. That leadership and vision constitute the basis for the vitality of the AAEP today.

The AAEP’s continued membership growth since its founding in 1954 is testament to the organization’s impact on equine veterinary medicine and the individual practitioner. From its humble beginnings of 11 members, the AAEP in 2004 boasts a record membership of over 8,000 veterinarians and veterinary students in 57 countries.
