Decade One
Our practitioner groups provide education in business topics important for professional career development to equine practitioners in their first ten years of practice, or first ten years of practice ownership and offer an opportunity to form a network of their peers for ongoing support.
Regional Groups
Regional groups of 20-25 members are formed from veterinarians seeking networking opportunities with peers, interested in helping each other succeed, and wishing to learn more about the business aspects of practice. Members are recruited from equine veterinarians in their first decade of practice or practice ownership who live and practice within the regional group location.

Yearly Meetings
Each regional Decade One group has monthly virtual “check-in” meetings to discuss current challenges and successes, and two in-person meetings per year. In addition, there is an ongoing member forum for questions and concerns between meetings. Each Decade One group meets for 3 years (6 in-person meetings).
Members share meals and enjoy time for networking with their peers at in-person meetings, and have the opportunity to stay connected through the monthly “check-in” meetings held by Zoom.
