Reports
From the President
Greetings DVB!
I’m excited to kick off this fall season as your new DVB President. Your DVB Board has been hard at work over the summer planning upcoming branch meetings and events for the 2024-2025 year. We’ve got some fun and educational events planned, including our upcoming Veterinarian Night in November, Technician Night in February and, back by popular demand, another Networking Night in March. Be sure to check out the
Events
page for specific details on each event and look for RSVP reminders in your inbox. These events are excellent opportunities to connect with peers that share the same focus and passion for life-saving biomedical research and lab animal wellbeing. You can see these and all other DVB events on the
Events page.
In additional to educational meetings, DVB offers scholarships,
awards with monetary prizes, giveaways at each meeting, and raffles where you can win a trip to regional events like Quad AALAS. Last summer we hosted a great social event at the Elmwood Park Zoo for members and their guests. A great time was had by all, and we’re looking forward to another fun social event at Hellerick's Adventure Farm in Plumsteadville, PA in June 2025! We’re doing our best to make the branch as fun and engaging as possible, so please come out and share in the fun.
We look forward to seeing you at this year’s events and hope you can bring along others that might be interested in DVB. The best place to stay connected with DVB is on our website, and we’re constantly working on updates and content. If you have any questions or want to get more involved with the branch, feel free to reach out to me or any other
board member for more information.
Looking forward to seeing you all at DVB events this year!
Drew Minenna
2024-2025 DVB President
