Acknowledgements| by the Chair Theophanes Liatis Without my perfect collaborator Bhavisha Patel – the Educational Resources Coordinator – I wouldn’t have organized so well the EDU+ Domain…I’d like to thank her for her brainstorming and dedicated work! I’d like to thank also Merel Rodenburg for her coordination at the start of the committee as well as at her wise comments I’d like to give big thanks to Anil Tűrer for being on alert every time I needed web support (website, social media announcements and email needs) 64th IVSA Congress – Romania 2015
Epilogue| by the Chair Theophanes Liatis Started…. 4 years ago in the local board of IVSA Thessaloniki (Greece) as: • Secretary General 2011/2012 • Vice President 2012/2013
…went on the last 2 years with the global board of IVSA as: • ExCo’s Veterinary Public Health Director & Chairman of SCOH 2013/2014
• Chairman of SCoVE 2014/2015
…Now I graduated within this March 2015 and I am a vet...and I realized that IVSA is my “family”, a place where I had awesome time in congresses as Indonesia or South Africa, I had awesome work time in online or live meetings with ExCo, I made friends, I gained new culture and knowledge, I learned to collaborate…. …And I tried to offer anything I could to IVSA. I wish I did my best. I encourage you to participate actively in this establishment as it’s a unique life experience with the biggest benefit being the contribution to society!
