**Policies under review, September/October 2019

The VVMA Executive Board recently adopted a policy (August 2019) guiding the review of the above position statements.  They are now reviewed every 5-6 years unless a member requests a change prior to the scheduled review.  We value our member input and welcome comments and suggestions at any time.  For more information, please contact Associate Director Linda Waite-Simpson at info@vtvets.org.  On issues other than those listed above, the VVMA generally defers to the position statements of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
