Seize the opportunity to serve and contribute to your local veterinary community by taking a position on the MCVMA Board. The positions are generally for a two year term, but there are no term limits, so don’t let that dissuade you from the decision to make a difference. Also, the district positions and the role that you can fill as an officer are separate. So, the decision to represent your district and hold a position as an officer is double the reward if you so choose to take this mission. The districts available are: District 1 Northern SLO County; District 3 Southern SLO County; and District 5 Lompoc & Santa Ynez. Please contact the district representative for more information if you are interested.
