Management Committee
The Townsend Equine Health Research Fund management committee directs the Fund’s ongoing activities and projects throughout the year. Faculty members who are involved in equine health education, research or clinical services at the College sit on the committee along with several members of the Dean’s Office and a student representative. Most members are volunteers who have been invited to serve the TEHRF.
