Are you passionate about your career and veterinary medicine? The WVTA can open doors for you. Volunteering as a member of the Executive Board/Committee can give you the leadership experience necessary for you to qualify for that promotion you have had your eye on. Networking events and the name recognition that come from being involved might give you an edge over another candidate for a job in your ‘dream clinic.’ Many employers want to hire career technicians because they are the ones that demonstrate their passion for the field by having initiative. Don’t worry if you don’t know the first thing about leadership, the great news is that we are a team and as a team we help each other gain the skills we need to succeed.
