o The ask should be, if selected, can you and will you support the active mission and vision of SWVS; leadership potential where there is alignment o Seeking an academic and clinical member to participate o They must be a VMA member and a DVM o Try to get perspective VMA members to attend a Partnership Meeting; learn about the organization. o Develop an advisory board as a “farm team” for future leadership appointments o Look to expand the board of managers to non-DVMs, any/all VMA members; review bylaw changes that may be needed to enable this or other related representation.

• Who are the competitors/threats? o Austin Vet, Fetch, Vet Girl, State VMA, Free CE, Unique Hospitality and CE Quality o Destinations (San Antonio) are preferred but there are always distance concerns. o Not certain the local VMAs are actual competition as they offer different quality of CEs o Exotic locations may draw crowds more than some destinations; San Antonio is a solid draw/location o Heavy consolidation in the industry - If the commercial practices consume all major vets and med product side, what will this do to SWVS and CE education, which is an SWVS draw o Industry demand has resulted in time and attendance o Concerns around the lack of generational understanding of new/younger vets • Online only CE (OPTIONAL) o Maintaining CE online – 10k for the video library, some are not certified because there are no testing/questions, would need an online learning platform to certify o Some miscommunications around cancellations o If it’s maintained, should payments to DVMs be considered o No current cost for the platform but to move into a revenue format we would need a new platform o Some feeling of value of Online is an enhancement for participating with SWVS
