June updates from AAC

Why is Accreditation Important?

* Provide assurance that programs maintain high standards
* Preserve the heritage and ensure future success
* Encourage a wide acceptance of Ayurvedic medicine
* Build a strong case for licensure of Ayurvedic clinicians

Message from Dr Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director

I am pleased to share the resounding success of our recent participation in NAMA’s 20th annual conference in Vail, Colorado. The event brought together hundreds of passionate individuals and organizations dedicated to Ayurvedic medicine. It was truly wonderful to meet so many talented and enthusiastic practitioners, students, and supporters. The weekend was full of meaningful discussions and connections, as well as exciting ideas and potential collaborations. As we move forward, AAC is committed to continuing to build this robust network and strengthen the relationships that are vital to our mission. Together, we will continue to make a profound impact in our community and beyond.

With warmest wishes,

Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director
