Celebrate 50 Years of VOS in Big Sky, Montana! |
|
Greetings VOS,
Congratulations to José García-López, the VOS Board, Kurt Schulz and the WVOC Committee, the NC State group, and Heidi DeCamp for an awesome in-person WVOC.
Snowmass will be hard to follow, but we have a fantastic team already working hard to make the 50th anniversary of VOS a year to remember. We are planning a fabulous meeting including state-of-the-art science in veterinary orthopedics, lively discussion, a robust exhibitor hall, celebratory social events, and fun extracurricular activities.
There is something for everyone in Big Sky, Montana with 5,850 skiable acres, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sled dogs, and fishing — and Yellowstone National Park is only a stone's throw away!

Despite All the Challenges of the Past Year, We Did It!
Dear VOS Family,
|
|
I hope this newsletter finds everyone healthy and doing well.
Well, we did it 😊!!! Despite all the challenges, doubts, and fears that we all faced this past year leading up to our yearly conference, we were able to deliver a truly excellent and by every metric very successful face-to-face World Veterinary Orthopaedic Congress in beautiful Snowmass, Colorado. We were fortunate to have representatives from 10 different countries in person as well as guest speakers from diverse regions of the globe participating virtually. Our conference explored new topics such as diversity, gender inequality, and finances to mention a few, which resulted in a very dynamic meeting in which we were able to reflect in areas beyond the world of veterinary orthopedics. We also had the privilege of listening and learning from a magnificent speaker, scientist and human being in our Jacques Jenny lecturer, Dr. Farshid Guilak. In summary, I was very proud in how the VOS — together with our friends and colleagues at ESVOT — were able to come together to deliver a true global conference.
It was wonderful to see most of you there once again in person, sharing knowledge, and re-establishing our sense of community that has been a paramount feature of our VOS family.
I wanted to also extend a HUGE THANK YOU to our Board of Directors, the WVOC planning committee, Heidi DeCamp, and our Sponsors and Exhibitors for making the WVOC the success that it was. It goes without saying that there is no way we would have been able to carry out this conference without every single one in this group doing their part. I can’t put into words how thankful I am of having had the privilege and honor of serving as VOS President for this past year.
Now that I begin my role as Immediate Past President, I will be using this newsletter to ask all of you who might never have had the opportunity to take an active role in the VOS, to do so! The VOS will always welcome its members, new and old, to take an active role in our organization. It is an incredibly rewarding experience and one in which you can truly make a difference!
