Elected candidates will help shape the direction of the board.
RCVS Fellows are being invited to stand for election for two positions on the RCVS Fellowship Board.
The positions are Projects and Engagement Officer for the Board and Chair of the Fellowship Science Advisory Panel’s subgroup of the Board.
Elected candidates will be tasked with shaping the direction of the Board and will help lead the Fellowship’s ongoing work.
