2025 Nominations to the Board of Regents


The Nominating Committee is eager to assemble a pool of candidates for this year’s president-elect and regents election with varied experience and skills and is representative of ACVS’s changing membership.


The responsibilities of the president-elect and regents elected this year will change over the course of their terms as ACVS pursues an updated governance structure that separates certification functions from membership activities. In their first year, they will assume the traditional role of the Board of Regents. In their second and third years, certification-related duties will transition from the board to the Certification Council. At that time, the board’s primary focus will be providing strategic guidance and high-level oversight of membership services and activities and the operation of the College


The Nominating Committee requests nominations for the following positions beginning in October 2025:


  • president-elect—small animal this year


  • regent for a three-year term—large animal


  • regent for a three-year term—small animal


Please ensure each of the Diplomates you are nominating is aware of the nomination and is willing to serve the College in this capacity.


To self-nominate or nominate someone else for any of these positions, complete this form by 5 pm (ET), Friday, April 4, 2025. New this year, each nominee will be required to complete the Board Candidate Application form, which the staff liaison to the Nominating Committee will send to the nominee upon receipt of a nomination.


Should you have any questions, contact Joanne Magro (jmagro@acvs.org), staff liaison to the Nominating Committee.
