District Representative Committee

About Us

In March of 2017 NAVTA introduced the National District Representative System (NDRS), a new and exciting addition to our association’s communication network.  NAVTA developed the NDRS to continue to help facilitate a working communication network between NAVTA, state Veterinary Technician associations and its members.

The NDRS is comprised of 11 districts that incorporate all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Each district has an elected representative whose responsibilities include:

  • Cultivating a working relationship with the state representatives.
  • Listening and categorizing the needs of their districts, along with reporting these needs to   NAVTA.
  • Working in conjunction with other District Representatives on national veterinary technology topics.
  • District Representatives will also be given the responsibility for conveying information from NAVTA to the states in their appointed districts.
