AAVMC Policy
Survey Requests from Other Organizations

1. The Executive Director will decide to approve or not approve requests for surveys. In making this decision, the Executive Director will consider the quality of the survey instrument, the expected time to complete the survey and the number of people expected to participate among other factors.
2. AAVMC will notify member institutions when a survey request is approved or not approved. However, the decision to participate in a survey is entirely at the discretion of each member institution. 
3. AAVMC will not conduct surveys for other organizations. Responsibility for conducting an approved survey rests with the requesting organization. Survey instruments may not be altered following approval. 
4. Requests for survey approval should be directed to Mr. Tim Evanson (tevanson@aavmc.org). The survey instrument must accompany the request for approval.
