Fly like an eagle
Congratulations to Dr. Pam Karner, semi-retired founder of Starland Veterinary Services in Trumansburg, N.Y., who in August completed the Mongol Derby, an unmarked, 1,000-kilometer multi- horse race across the epic wilderness of the Mongolian steppe. Dr. Karner was among 44 riders worldwide selected to compete, and 33 to finish within the allotted time over nine days.

Benefit: Embrace volunteer opportunities to serve the horse and profession
As an AAEP member, you have an opportunity to contribute to your profession in meaningful ways beyond your daily practice.
Dr. Katie Flynn
The AAEP relies on a broad and diverse network of member volunteers to help fulfill its mission. Volunteers run the gamut from tradi- tional board, committee and task force assignments to more targeted
opportunities such as new member ambassadors and Ask the Vet volunteers.
“Serving the AAEP on several committees has allowed me to develop new relationships, strengthen existing ones and
to have a greater impact on protecting and promoting equine health through an association that puts the horse first,” said Dr. Katie Flynn, equine staff veterinarian for the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Animal Health Branch.
Regardless of where your interests may lie, a completed volunteer interest form is necessary for consideration. When volunteer positions become available, the Member Engagement Committee queries the database of potential volunteers to identify candidates matching the desired training, experience and attributes.
Take the first step toward becoming an AAEP volunteer. Log in to
aaep.org and select “My Member Profile/ Benefits” to complete the volunteer interest form.
