Commonly asked questions
Being on BEVA Council gives you a unique opportunity to work, debate and socialise with a diverse cross-section of our profession and make a difference in the things that matter to you.
What will I do on BEVA Council?

BEVA Council members sit on 1-2 of our committees. Each committee is tasked with working on projects and initiatives that aim to support equine veterinary professionals and champion high standards of equine health and welfare and you would be encouraged to explore and work on projects that matter to you as part of your committee role. 

You will have the opportunity to participate in industry-wide project and discussions with our regulators and Government. Throughout your time on the council, you will be invited to a number of meetings.

Is it a big-time commitment?

Our committees meet up to four times every year with a mix of virtual and in-person meetings and the full BEVA Council comes together in person twice a year.

There are no set hours you have to commit to but the more you can give to the role, the more rewarding you will find it.
