AACU Management Transition

Dear AACU Members,

I’d like to share some exciting news about our Association and our 2022 Annual Meeting.

Following careful consideration and analysis, our Board of Directors made the important decision to transition operational and day-to-day management activities of AACU to Veritas Association Management, effective March 1, 2022.

Veritas is a leader in non-profit medical association management with a belief in AACU’s mission, a proven record of success, and an experienced staff to effectively move our Association forward. We are confident that as a strategic partner, Veritas will help AACU best serve our membership in advocating for health policies to improve urologic practice and patient care.

The new AACU headquarters is based in suburban Chicago, with oversight and support of key staff members, including:
