Two students from each school are guaranteed positions at VLE, a premier veterinary student leadership training opportunity.  Since the student selection process may be different at each school, please contact the associate dean, previous VLE attendees, or your SAVMA president for information on the selection process.  As soon as students are chosen to represent their school, they can contact us for the link to registration.  Full tuition scholarships will be provided for these two students by the VLI, with the student being responsible for a nominal registration fee ($125 for early registration and $200 for late registration) and the school being responsible for funding travel expenses.  Schools that wish to send more than two students for leadership training are very welcome to do so if space is available, and will be responsible for paying the full conference fee ($2000.00) as well as travel expenses for the additional student attendees.

VLE is an incredible, once in a lifetime professional development opportunity that is tailored to meet the leadership training needs of the veterinary profession.  For 2024, the number of positions available for faculty and private practitioners to attend will be limited to 36.  Registration for these limited spaces will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis, with a conference fee collected at registration.  The conference registration fee is $2500.00 which includes all conference programming, room and board and transportation to and from the Spokane International Airport.

Veterinarians in private practice are welcome to attend VLE.  Your participation makes the experience even richer for our students!  For the 2024 VLE, the number of positions available for private practitioners and faculty will be limited to 36.  Registration for these limited spaces will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis, with a conference fee collected at registration. The conference registration fee is $2500.00 which includes all conference programming, room and board and transportation to and from the Spokane International Airport.
