Final call for BVA Electoral College nominations
The BVA Electoral College assesses nominations and formally selects members to officer status.
The BVA has put out a final call for nominations for one new member to join the BVA Electoral College.
The organisation is encouraging anyone with a passion to promote the value of the veterinary profession to apply for the role and help select members for election to officer status.
“The Electoral College plays a crucial role in ensuring that BVA fulfils its mission to be the leading body representing, supporting and championing BVA members and the whole UK veterinary profession,” said BVA president John Fishwick.
"I would encourage anyone with a passion to promote the value of the veterinary profession, and who is seeking a fulfilling role, to apply. Help ensure BVA continues to be a strong voice for our profession.”
The BVA Electoral College assesses nominations and formally selects members to officer status. The three elected BVA members work with BVA officers, a past president and a board chair to evaluate nominations and applications for the role of BVA junior vice president.
The elected members also carry out a skills gap analysis within the officer team for the following year. They ensure that BVA’s process for selecting and electing its officer team is open, fair and robust.
Nominations are open to all BVA members who are veterinary surgeons, excluding BVA past presidents and serving division and Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) officers.
Members are elected to serve on the Electoral College for three years and are then eligible to stand for a second three-year term. Applicants must be available to attend the Electoral College meeting on 6 February 2019.
