Thank You, Darlene!

NOMV would like to say a very special thank you to Darlene Bos for her 3 years of service as NOMV's first Executive Director and very first employee! While it's bittersweet for NOMV that Darlene is retiring from the role of Executive Director we are thrilled for her next adventure which includes volunteering with several of NOMV's programs!

Darlene has been working in the non-profit world since 2000. After a varied and fulfilling career that included museums, Special Olympics, professorships, and a stint as a park ranger, Darlene put her passion into mental health. She spent time working with California's largest mental health organization in the North Bay, prior to joining NOMV.

In her time at NOMV, Darlene helped encourage tremendous growth for the organization. We now have 11 employees, 6 MSW graduate interns, and 8 programs dedicated to elevating the wellbeing of veterinary professionals.

From all of us at NOMV, thank you for your passion and dedication to NOMV and the mental wellbeing of the veterinary community. We are thrilled to see what the future holds for you, Darlene!
