The 29th annual AALSO Symposium & Workshops – the Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The 29th annual AALSO Symposium & Workshops will be hosted by the Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and take place March 25th – 29th, 2023.
AALSO has expanded greatly in the last 20 years.
The organization now has over 1,000 members, 500 certified operators, and roughly 300 vendor members. These vendor members supply the zoo and aquarium industry with pumps, valves, filters, heat exchangers, sensors, and every other piece of equipment that keep animals and their habitats healthy.
Education and Training program (EaT)
AALSO offers a multi-level operator competency acknowledgement program based on exams created and administered by the AALSO Certification Committee.
AALSO believes that it is appropriate to develop recognition criteria and a proficiency program that encourages Zoo and Aquarium institutions to incorporate these training criteria into their operator development program.
