"We thank Richard for his service to the RCVS over the past year" - RCVS President, Mandisa Greene.

The RCVS has announced the resignation of RCVS Council member Richard Stephenson.

“We thank Richard for his service to the RCVS over the past year and in his previous terms,” commented RCVS President Mandisa Greene. “We particularly thank him for his contribution to a number of committees he has served on during both his periods on Council including the Disciplinary, Finance & Resources and Preliminary Investigation Committees. We wish him all the best for the future.”
