Volunteers Wanted: Make a Difference and Have Fun! |

Dear VOS family,
I hope that everyone is doing well. As the summer begins to wind down and a new fall semester is set to begin, I wanted to once again reach out to our members to consider taking a more active role in your organization.
We are always looking for volunteers to either be part of our Board of Directors or help us during our conference. Next year we will be searching for nominees for President-Elect, Exhibit Chair (4 years total; 2 years as Exhibit Chair, 2 years as Sponsor Chair), and Assistant Director Education Foundation (4 years total; 2 years as Assistant Director, 2 years as Director). We are also in need of help during our conference to serve as Session Moderators, Poster, and Podium Judging, etc. So please, if you want to get involved, just do it!
To all of you interested, feel free to send Heidi DeCamp (secretary@vosdvm.org) or me (jose.garcia-lopez@tufts.edu) an email letting us know your interest. As you know, the VOS is a small organization that is truly run by its members, and we want all of you who might be interested in helping and continuing to make a difference in our organization to be able to put your name forward. You can truly make a tangible difference, and I guarantee you that not only will it be a hugely fulfilling experience, it will also be tons of fun!
