The ACVECC/VECCS DEI Committee is a joint committee working towards ensuring diversity and inclusivity within the veterinary emergency and critical care community. Our objective is to achieve this through education, increasing awareness, recruitment of diverse individuals and cultivating and supporting a diverse and inclusive Emergency and Critical Care community.
Committees are a great way for new, and longtime members alike, to get involved with VECCS and give impactful input as we continue pursuing our mission!
