As one of the only veterinary not-for-profit Association Management Companies in existence, the NAVC can support fellow associations with its industry expertise
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the North American Veterinary Community (NAVC) announced that it has launched its Industry Services Division to include association management, strategic planning and professional conference management services exclusively for the veterinary industry.
