2019-2021 ABVTA Strategic Plan
Setting the direction for an organization is a core board governance function. As such, the ABVTA Board of Directors decided to meet on March 15 and 16, 2019 to review and update its 2015-2017 Strategic Plan.
The ABVTA Board reaffirmed the mission and vision statements:
ABVTA Mission Statement:
“To support and empower a knowledgeable network of Registered Veterinary Technologist to advance our profession while providing compassionate veterinary care”
ABVTA Vision Statement:
“Professional, knowledgeable, compassionate animal health care”
In addition to the four priority focus areas outlined in the 2015-2017 Strategic Plan, the group agreed the Board should also focus on “professional growth and support” in 2019-2021.
2019-2021 Priority Focus Areas
- Member involvement and engagement
- Promotion of the RVT profession
- Promotion of animal health and welfare
- Good governance and management

The Board agreed that the four goals in the 2015-2017 Strategic Plan are still relevant, and that a new goal needed to be added to address the new priority focus area of “professional growth and support”.
