Project Sticker is growing—and we’re inviting passionate voices from across veterinary medicine to help shape what comes next, strengthening support, belonging, and well-being so more people can stick with veterinary medicine.
Project Sticker board members provide strategic guidance, governance, and leadership as we grow our national mental-health initiative. Ideal candidates bring:
A passion for veterinary well-being and culture change
Leadership, nonprofit, clinical, research, or industry experience
A collaborative spirit and commitment to meaningful impact
Board service offers a unique opportunity to help guide programs, partnerships, and long-term strategy that support veterinary professionals across the country.
We welcome applications from:
Veterinary technicians, veterinarians, students, and practice teams
Industry professionals and advocates
Mental-health professionals and researchers
Anyone committed to strengthening the veterinary community
Passion matters more than titles.
If this mission speaks to you, we want to hear from you.
All board members must commit to the following:
Monthly Board Meetings
Weekly Time Commitment (2–4 Hours)
Because we are a launching organization, board members must actively contribute:
2–4 hours per week toward project development, committee work, partnership outreach, fundraising, content creation, or strategic initiatives.
This is a working board—not advisory in name only.
Annual Financial Contribution
Board members are required to make an annual donation that is meaningful to them.
A personal financial commitment strengthens our grant eligibility and reflects board engagement.
Active Mission Advancement
Board members are expected to:
QPR Certification (Required)
Because suicide prevention is central to our mission, all board members must become QPR Certified (Question. Persuade. Refer.).
This certification:
Project Sticker will provide details on accessing QPR training upon acceptance.
