Mentee Comments

Lisa Metcalf is one of the most giving individuals that I have known. Her gifts include a tremendous amount of time and knowledge contributed to the AAEP as a board director and officer. Her advocacy for The Foundation, and her efforts in Oregon working with the police, racing commission, reproductive research, and teaching have been and continue to be outstanding! She is most deserving of this honor!
