Mission statement:

The Vanguard Committee is committed to promoting the engagement of early-career liver transplant professionals and trainees in all ILTS activities, and to advocating on their behalf. Its goal is to give the opportunity to members aged less than 42 years or within 5 years of initial training to actively participate in projects, recognize and support their research, and facilitate collaborations.
