Overview
The AVLS collaborates with specialists worldwide to advance vein and lymphatic care. Volunteers serving on our committees help us achieve this goal. If you'd like to volunteer, browse our committees to find where your skills and interests fit best.
A standing committee was established for each of these focus areas, and within each standing committee are several advisory committees and task forces that focus on specific areas of interest and issues. If you want a quick overview of the committee structures, you can view our list of committees above. If you’d like more detailed information, use the links above to explore by focus.
