2023 Members Meeting
group 2023

The VFCE membership held its first annual Members Meeting on May 5, 2023.  This was a result of the past year’s effort of the VFCE Governing Committee’s development of the Center’s charter, the creation of a process for Center Membership and publication on the VFCE website. The meeting reviewed the history of the VFCE, discussed the Charter, and strategized for the future. In-depth 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’. For more information you may also see the Schedule of Events for 2023.
