The board also approved changes in the committee's composition. The AALC membership was modified to replace two voting Executive Board members with one liaison from the board. Also, at the request of the International Association for Aquatic Animal Medicine, its representation was terminated. The board approved the AALC's recommendation to reassign that seat to the Aquatic Livestock Alliance.
