April News & Events

Accreditation of educational institutions is necessary to maintain and enhance the quality of education, ensure students' trust and encourage continuous improvement, foster global recognition, protect consumers, and promote accountability in the education sector.

Message from Dr Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director

It was a true pleasure to share the vision and work of AAC at the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine (CAAM) conference a few weeks ago. We are looking forward to our participation in a discussion panel and the exhibitors program at NAMA’s Annual Conference, which will be held in Vail, CO on May 16-19. We hope to see you there!

And a quick reminder: if you or your program/school/organization/business will be hosting (or know of any) upcoming events, please reach out! We believe in the power of collaboration and would love to showcase the important work we are doing to ensure high-quality Ayurvedic education in the United States.

With warmest wishes,

Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director
