What is the duration of the board members' terms of appointment?

The correct duration of the board members' terms of appointment is four years. This length is designed to provide stability and continuity within the board while allowing for regular turnover to introduce new perspectives and ideas. Four-year terms strike a balance between having experienced members who are well-acquainted with the workings of the board and enabling the integration of new members who can bring fresh insights and representative changes in the veterinary community’s needs. This cyclical approach ensures that the board can effectively adapt to shifts in veterinary practices and regulations over time.
