AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich talks with current AABP President Dr. Pat Gorden today. We learn about when Gorden decided to become a veterinarian, his past private dairy practice experience and his current professional role at Iowa State University. Gorden talks about his early volunteer work on the AABP Milk Quality and Udder Health Committee and Committee on Pharmaceutical and Biologic Issues. He suggests that members contact us if you want to get involved with AABP by telling us about your interests. AABP members can join committees by going to the AABP website and review the committees listed under the committee and task force menus. We review the role of each officer while they rotate through the Executive Committee and the commitment of these volunteers working for our organization. Gorden wants to continue to develop AABP’s broad reach to cattle veterinarians through continuing education, advocacy, mentorship and networking.
