Get Ready for an Amazing WVOC 2022 in Snowmass, Colorado! |
|
Dear VOS Family,
I hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying the turning of the leaves and the beauty of fall. Another nice thing about the fall is that we are just one change of season away from getting all back together for an amazing WVOC! 😊 We are certain that everyone will enjoy the mix of topics that our WVOC organizing committee has put together. I want to take a moment here to once again thank all the volunteers that have spent hours upon hours and emails after emails helping Kurt Schulz, Laura Peycke and your VOS Board come up with an exciting and diverse program. There is no way that we could have done it without their hard work. So, a huge THANK YOU!!
The members of the Board of Directors understand that COVID and its Delta variant continue to be a source of anxiety and a health risk to our community, especially for those that are not vaccinated or are immunocompromised. For this reason and following CDC guidelines, we have set a number of requirements in order to increase safety and be able to attend our conference including proof of vaccination or a medical exemption with a negative PCR test (within 72 hours). I know that this might irritate some in our community, but our number one priority is to keep our community and their loved ones healthy. We are monitoring closely how things continue to evolve nationally, internationally and in the Pitkin County region, and will be keeping everyone updated of any developments as we inch closer. If you have not done so thus far, please get vaccinated; do it not just for you, but for your loved ones and your community. For those of you coming from abroad, we are thrilled to say that the United States has reopened its borders to foreign nationals (excluding certain high-risk countries) who are vaccinated and have proof of a negative PCR test within 72 hours. Be sure to visit the VOS webpage (vosdvm.org) often and of course feel free to email VOS Executive Secretary Heidi DeCamp (secretary@vosdvm.org) if you have any questions.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to share some wonderful news with our community. After years of diligent work trying to get our seventh and last Endowed Mark Bloomberg Resident Research Award Sponsor, we are thrilled to say that Arthrex Vet Systems has graciously stepped up to the plate and made it happen. A huge and special thanks to Arthrex Vet Systems for its contribution and dedication to moving research, education, and surgical training forward. I also want to thank as always our other current Endowed Mark Bloomberg Resident Research Award Sponsors: AO Vet North America, Boehringer-Ingelheim, New Generation Devices, Orthomed, Securos Surgical, and VOS Past Presidents. From our VOS community, THANK YOU!!!
