Reflecting the global swine market, communication and science are the themes presented to the 1,100 attendees at the AASV Conference this week. “We need to start building that muscle within our membership of how you relate to people, how you talk to people from different generations, how you talk to people from different genders or other parts of the world and understand where they’re coming from, so that we can work collectively as a team to manage issues,” explained AASV Program Chair George Charbboneau, DVM.
