The next members meeting will be held on May 17, 2024 in UAHS Room 4150A (4th floor of AHSC Library).
The VFCE held its first annual Members Meeting on May 5, 2023. This was a result of the VFCE Governing Committee’s development of the center’s charter, the creation of a process for Center Membership, and its publication on the VFCE website. The meeting reviewed the history of the VFCE, discussed the charter, and strategized for the future. Educational presentations were given by Ed Robb of Anivive Life Sciences on ‘The delta-cps1 for dogs: the development process as a veterinary vaccine’ and Fariba Donovan on ‘Biologic response modifiers, their risk for serious Valley fever, and approaches for management’.
Thoughtful improvements to the created organizational structure came out of the discussion.
While it’s an option to apply for membership in the VFCE at any time, a push for existing Membership updates and expansion will occur annually each spring.
Dr. Galgiani ended the first membership meeting with the note that this will be an annual event, hopeful that this meeting will be held larger venue due to anticipated growth in membership!
