Members from around the world step up to committee roles
Our Committees are our ‘engine room’ as their hard-working volunteers deliver the thought leadership, continuing education and resources to support our members in advancing companion animal care.
We recently put out a call for new members for two Committees and received a great response. All applicants underwent a formal selection process, with their applications assessed first by our Leadership and Nomination Committee and then by the Committee they wished to join. Once selected, the proposed new members were put forward to the WSAVA Executive Board for ratification.
We thank all of those who have stepped up to support our global veterinary community and hope they will enjoy their tenure:
