ISAE Council

Since the founding of the Society for Veterinary Ethology in 1966 and our renaming as the International Society for Applied Ethology, the ISAE has grown from a small group of British veterinarians to an international society spanning many scientific disciplines. Today, the ISAE is a non-profit organisation with an international federal structure and representatives around the world. Administration of the Society is the responsibility of a Council comprising a President, Senior and Junior Vice-President, and 10 other voting members with unique responsibilities. Additionally, there are several non-voting positions, an auditor and legal assessor, as well as a regional secretary for each of the 13 regions. The Council also provides technical evidence on topics relating to animal behaviour and animal welfare during the committee stages of government legislation.
