Committees and SIGs - VetPartners

VetPartners relies on its volunteer-based Committees to achieve organization goals and objectives.

Committees are the workplace of our association, and each work to develop policy and procedures on a variety of issues that support the association’s strategic objectives and activities.

VetPartners encourages all members to get involved in a Committee, as they offer great opportunities for professional enrichment, networking, and volunteerism. If you are interested in a particular group, please contact the Chair, listed below.
