ASV Regional Coalitions

Map of Regional Coalitions

The Association of Shelter Veterinarians recognizes the desire and need for collaborative spaces for veterinarians engaged in shelter and community animal care to engage in beneficial discussions and to build community. In an effort to facilitate these spaces, we have developed 11 Regional Coalitions. The goal of these coalitions is to build strong local communities that connect, support, and inspire members in meaningful ways.

Regional coalition discussions are open to all veterinarians who are interested in animal welfare and community health. Upcoming discussions are listed below, under Upcoming Events to the right, and on the main ASV calendar.
