Thank You for a Very Successful VIRTUAL VOS! |
|
Dear VOS family,
It is an absolute pleasure and honor to become the new president of this wonderful organization, the Veterinary Orthopedic Society. As we gradually, and hopefully, continue to steadily surface from a global pandemic that has affected us all, I would like to give a wholehearted thank-you to our outgoing president, Dr. Ross Palmer, who went beyond his duties during the most stressful period that our organization has ever seen, and steered us into a very successful year and our first-ever virtual conference, VIRTUAL VOS 2021. He led our Board of Directors, who together worked tirelessly to develop and deliver a most successful virtual conference despite the challenging year we all experienced. Ross’ uncanny level of enthusiasm, positivism, and great can-do attitude should serve as an example to us all in leadership and humanity. Thank you, Ross!
I would like to also give my most sincere thank-you to our new Executive Secretary Heidi DeCamp who in her first year, and what a year it was, did a wonderful job for our organization. I also would like to give a very sincere thank-you to our Conference Chair and Assistant Chair, Drs. Caleb Hudson and Stan Kim, who did an absolutely outstanding job creating an amazing conference program, combining live and on-demand events to deliver top-quality education for all of our attendees. Finally, this was the first full year in our partnership with the NCSU Continuing Education team, THE PACK, who worked diligently to make our virtual conference the success it was. I am super excited to have the opportunity to work with this amazing team as we move on to plan our next conference and serve our VOS family.
As it is the case when we face adversity, the experiences, challenges and solutions that we as an organization came up with have given us lessons and ideas that we can put in place in future meetings as we strive to deliver education to our members, and improve visibility and access to our sponsors and exhibitors. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any comments or recommendations based on your experience attending our virtual conference. You can email Heidi (secretary@vosdvm.org) or me (jose.garcia-lopez@tufts.edu) with your comments and/or suggestions.

In 2022 our conference not only will be extra special as we once again get together as friends and colleagues IN PERSON (yay!!!!!), but we will also be hosting, as we do every 8 years, the World Veterinary Orthopaedic Congress (WVOC) in collaboration with ESVOT. As we continue our preparations to return to Snowmass in 2022, our Board of Directors, the NCSU team, our conference chairs, and our WVOC chairs Drs. Kurt Schulz and Laura Peycke, are working diligently in putting together an exciting program with some of our “classic” sessions but also with new and innovative sessions which we hope you all will enjoy. As you might have already heard, the Westin, Wildwood and the Conference Center at Snowmass will be undergoing a complete makeover and renovations which are scheduled to be completed by December as part of the sale of these properties in 2020. I would like to remind you to use our new registration portal on the VOS website (www.vosdvm.org) which once again will be managed by the NCSU CE team. As part of our new partnership with the NCSU CE team, we have been able to negotiate and secure rooms/condos at a lower rate than in previous years as there are no commissions added to the cost, which allows for the VOS to pass on those savings to our attendees. In short, by using the VOS website portal for your VOS 2022 housing, you will be helping YOUR organization.

As we have done in recent years, a post-conference survey will be sent to our VIRTUAL VOS attendees as well as to those VOS members that did not participate in our virtual conference this year. (If you do not get an email with the survey link, please email: secretary@vosdvm.org.) When you speak, we listen. Please take the time to fill out the survey so we can make your VOS as strong as ever!
Please mark your calendars now to attend the WVOC/VOS 2022: February 5-12, 2022 in Snowmass, Colorado!
Sincerely,
José M. García-López
President
