BVNA 2012 Council Elections - still open for nominations
Nominations to close on 30th April 2012

The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) has reminded all members eligible to do so that they can stand for election to the BVNA Council. Any member of the BVNA who is a ‘Qualified VN/RVN/EVN' can nominate themselves or be nominated in turn.

President of the BVNA Claire Fraser said "The BVNA Council is committed to driving the Association forward but this can only be done with representatives who are fully committed to representing the BVNA and its members. Your background is less important than your ability to offer a real commitment to the Association and your fellow members. There is certainly a significant time commitment, but it is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience and it is seen as a way of giving something back to a profession that we are all passionate about. It is also an opportunity to meet other veterinary nurses from a wide range of backgrounds, to share thoughts and ideas on both a political front and from a clinical perspective. I would urge anyone with an interest in the future of our profession and our Association to stand as a BVNA Council Member."

Nomination forms can be downloaded here.
