I was recently visiting with a group of our AASV leadership and the topic of how the AASV demographics have changed over the years came up. In an effort to emphasize the impact the increase in female membership has had, Dr. Mary Battrell observed that, "When I first started attending the AASV Annual Meeting in the early 1990s it was like going to a tractor pull - the bathroom lines were in front of the men's room!" (She gave me permission to quote her.)
