About

Members of the Program Group will include the IVECCS Program Coordinator(s) session coordinators, including the small animal, technician, large animal, exotic animal, practice leadership, and wellness, as well as representatives of affiliated groups. Additional members will be appointed as needed to ensure that the Scientific Program meets the educational needs, objectives, and interests of the VECCS and ACVECC membership. The IVECCS Program Coordinator(s) will be responsible for appointing members to the group and for meeting the deadlines required in the development and execution of IVECCS.
