AAC Advisory Board
 

Mission Statement: As prior board members and or long time volunteers we will provide a historical perspective on a variety of issues and brainstorm possible options to peacefully resolve problems within AAC. Our suggestions will be sent to the AAC board in a timely manner.

The following are the members of the American Adoption Congress Advisory Board
