Because VetSOAP believes that collaborative care is good for the entire veterinary profession, we believe including many voices in the discussion is necessary. Beyond our Board of Directors, we have sought to include a wider ring of input and experience. The Advisory Council is just that, a less structured but no less thoughtful group of individuals that provide guidance and opinions to the board on everything from identifying potential sponsor partners to recommending channels for communicating the research results, and most importantly, promoting the mission of the organization. Through conference calls and meet ups at industry events, we gain valuable insight, perspective, and feedback on strategies and tactics to move the message forward.

If you would like to be a part of the Advisory Council, please email our Executive Director, Judith Gass, at jgass@vetsoap.org for more information.

Thank you for your interest in VetSOAP.
