Article

Give deserving team members a pat on the back.

More women than ever are entering the veterinary profession and a majority of veterinary team members are women. Give these ladies-or the people who helped them succeed-a pat on the back by nominating them for the Distinguished Service Award (DSA).

Worthy applicants are those who put forth special effort or contributions toward advancing and improving the status of women in the veterinary medicine field.
