Committees & Sections

AABB's committees and sections are comprised of dedicated members who volunteer their time to help advance the field. AABB's committees are vital to the success of our community. By volunteering to participate in a committee or subsection, members have an opportunity to learn, connect with like-minded professionals and help to advance the field.

Below is a list of committees and subsections that are open to our members for volunteer opportunities.
