Membership Levels

As members grow within the AVLS and within the field of vein care, many of them choose to take on a more active role in the organization. Our membership levels were developed to accommodate member’s needs and recognize those members who are making an important impact in our field. The different AVLS membership levels are based on a member’s background, work, and level of activity within the AVLS.
