About

The DEI Committee is a committee working towards ensuring fairness, awareness, and inclusion 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. 

Interested in Joining?

VECCS Committees are a great way to have a voice in your ECC community! Each year, typically in July, we will host an open call for new Committee Members for those committees with open seats! Please watch for this communication, we would love to see you get more involved! If you have any questions regarding VECCS Committees between now and then, don’t hesitate to reach out to Nat, on the VECCS Team at [email protected].
