DR. JOE BROWN FUNDRAISING SOCIAL EVENT
This year we will be combining the Gala with the Dr. Joe Brown BBQ. This event has been a long-standing fundraiser event for the AAC Student Endowment Fund; a fund used to award student scholarships, presentation, and travel awards. In memory of a former AAC member, professor, research scientist and memorable mentor to his many students, the BBQ was renamed the Dr. Joe Brown BBQ as a tribute to Dr. Brown. As the final social event of the Conference and Tradeshow it is not to be missed! So polish your shoes, set out your fancy (okay, a step up from business casual at least) and enjoy a sumptuous meal with friends and colleagues. AC24 will honour a current or past member of the AAC with the presentation of the AAC Research Excellence Award.
