The CVMA Board of Governors is made up of 16 governors consisting of 11 geographic representatives and five at-large members. Board terms run for three years, with all terms expiring on June 30 of the third year of service. Expiring terms are typically announced in the January/February edition of California Veterinarian and otherwise in the electronic CVMA Connect newsletter.
Any eligible CVMA member may become a candidate for the Board by submitting a written petition of intent, signed by 10 CVMA members who reside in or maintain a principal office for the practice of veterinary medicine within the district to be represented.
Applicants for at-large Board positions shall not simultaneously run for an elected district board position. After receiving the letters of interest and applications from qualified CVMA members, the CVMA’s Leadership Committee will evaluate candidates open at-large positions. Existing at-large Governors must complete an application for a second term.
