EXECUTIVE OFFICERS


National office is both a challenging and rewarding experience.  Being successful in such a position shows an ability to communicate and interact effectively with others.  The APVMA encourages any member of a APVMA member pre-veterinary club to run for national office. The following is a list of the national officers as well as the criteria required to run for office.

  • Congratulations to Dr. Gregory Lewbart from North Carolina State University to being appointed to the 2001-2003 APVMA National Advisor position!
